If we are crossing somewhere we only assume our direction toward the north, and someone coming infront of us that means he is going towards the south.
That is why if a shadow is left or right side doesn't matter so Uday is going toward North and also facing towards north while talking Vishal.

Sun rises in the east in morning. And given that both are facing each other and vishal's shadow was exactly left of uday. That means Vishal's shadow is exactly right of him. That means sun is in left (east). And now we can go in clockwise direction (east, south, west, north).

When Uday and Vishal are facing to each other, Uday will be in North and Vishal will be in the south. When Vishal's shadow is facing to the South, then Uday's shadow will face to North because they both are facing each other
That's is why I thought the answer is NORTH.

Sun rises in east. Vishal is standing opp. To udai. So udhai and vishal should stand either in north and south facings. Possibility of shadow falls on left of vishal lies only if he stand facing south and udai standing facing north. So answer is NORTH.

WEST.
SHADOW ^.
SOUTH ^ NORTH.
UDAY -> <- VISHAL.
EAST.
PUT the direction "N E W S" after making the diagram and the shadow always in the opposite direction towards EAST as it has mentioned 'MORNING' in the question. Sun rises in the EAST.

Apoorva if Q not say any direction then we can put 1st man in north and facing towards south and 2nd man in south facing towards north. And it's true but in above Q 1st man put south and 2nd man in north so the answer north. But true and is north ok.

@Anzalna.
Given Diagram is right. See question is What is Udai's facing direction while Vishal's shadow is Vishal's right (but Udai's left). Means Sun is rising from Udai's right and Shadow goes to Udai's left. It means Udai is facing North.

Here the direction assumption matters.
According to the compass, the North direction will be upward side not on downward side. Sunrises on the East side so the shadow will be Westside. In that sense, Udai was facing towards the North only.

1. Sun rises in east.
2. Both face to face. Vishal shadow in west.
3. Shadow is left side to uday. So its right side to vishal, because f2f.
4. So vishal in north. Uday in south.
5. BUT uday is facing towards north. So NORTH.

The answer is because both are facing each other, so, the rays are from the east, east is Udai's right side, and west is on the left side when Vishal shadow fall on the left side of Udai then he is facing towards south.
