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).

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.

If it is morning rises in east and shadow falls on the west.
If it is sunset sun is in west and shadow falls on the east.

I hope these clears your doubt.

According to me, it can not be determined.

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.

Answer is wrong because no sun rises from the south in morning.

Generally, we take the north direction upwards, west on the left side, east on the right and south towards downwards. According to that, the direction of Udai facing will be east.
