Sun rises east so shadow will fall opposite to standing person.

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.

@Surendra,

Why vishal couldn't be at south and uday in north ?

i.e, 4th point can't be changed as vishal in south and uday in north? please clarify

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.

Question is not cleared. Why everybody is considering the sun is in the east? It may be in the west also in the afternoon. So in that case answer will be different. Please cross check it.

Can any One Explain about MR-S rule. How it is possible?

Dewangsh said:   1 decade ago
@Nirosha is correct. If Vishal & Udai would face along the East west direction, then the answer will differ.

Anisugumona said:   1 decade ago
Correct answer. Because the sun rises morning at east. Shadow of Vishal will appear in west. So Udai facing north direction.
