Uday and Vishal are facing each other. First look at the question, it's talking about shadow, so Vishal's shadow is left to Uday as mentioned. And its a morning time so shadow will form to the west. i.e., the shadow is in the west direction to Uday.
If you draw a small diagram, see that Uday is facing to Vishal. So if you are facing to east your back will face west. And always remember that your left hand always faces towards north.
SUN SHADOW.
MORNING: EAST WEST.
EVENING: WEST EAST.
Apply a little common sense. You will succeed.
Thank you.

North is the right answer because udai is in north and facing towards south, and vishal in south and facing towards north. Sunrise is from east so, both the shadows directed towards west. We have two options here.
1. Vishal shadow was exactly to the left of udai.
2. Udai shadow was exactly to the right of udai.
If we can go with question option 1 is correct.
There is no possibility to change the positions of udai and vishal, if we change options 1 and 2 will get reversed then we can't go with the question.

Dear to all as given in question, we know in morning sun rise from east and condition is both are looking to each other (face to face) so when sun will rise its definitely the shadow will be in west direction and again condition is vishal's shadow is at the left of uddai. That means as when uddai face to vishal and from east direction shadow of vishal will come in left of uddai that means uddai is facing in north direction.
At face of vishal. OK friends.
At face of vishal. OK friends.

@All.
Here, it's mentioned as it is sunrise because Vishal's shadow is left of Uday. I thought South because the direction I took is N.
W - | - E
S.
Put Vishal at the top and Uday at the bottom reverse the answer.
Then you can find the answer is North because the sun rises in the east so the shadow is on the west (left of Uday) and Uday is facing North.
THE ANSWER IS NORTH.

I think here there is a problem in the question i.e., they mentioned as crossing if not the answer was correct.
We know that the sun rises in the East they were talking at morning by face to face on that time the shadow of two members will fall on West. So according to the question, only the Vishal's shadow falls on the left of Udai when Udai faces to the North direction only.
So, the answer is (C) North.

I Agree with you @Chaithra Shetty and @Ramesh Damam.
If a person shadow is shadowed his right then he is facing south direction MRS.
If a person shadow is shadowed his LEFT then he is facing NORTH direction MLN.
I really agree with you rule is "MR-S" "ML-N".
Morning Right shadow means - south side.
Morning left Shadow means - North side.
So here its North.
If a person shadow is shadowed his right then he is facing south direction MRS.
If a person shadow is shadowed his LEFT then he is facing NORTH direction MLN.
I really agree with you rule is "MR-S" "ML-N".
Morning Right shadow means - south side.
Morning left Shadow means - North side.
So here its North.

The answer is NORTH.
Because Vishal's shadow is to the left of UDAI it means UDAI is facing to north side then only we can say that UDAI's shadow in the morning will on the left side.
Here UDAI's left is Vishal's right (that is why the question is saying Vishal's shadow is to the left of UDAI).
In the question, we have to tell UDAI's face direction, not of Vishal.

Sunset or sunrise is not imp, just think it whose names starts Frist straightway take him north side because there is no mention direction so,
Vishal name start then took him to the north position and facing south.
Udai stands in the South position and facing the north side, the shadow is not imp.
Vishal name start then took him to the north position and facing south.
Udai stands in the South position and facing the north side, the shadow is not imp.

Suppose you and your friend are standing in place of Udai & Vishal. Same way you stand in the south position as Udai stand in the south and your friend will stand in the north position as Vishal stand in the north then see which direction you are facing is as Udai facing.
Try this, you'll get it.
