First of all check directions I mean north is always in left side if east. That's why answer is south not north.

If shadow is on persons right side then he is facing south direction and if shadow is on persons left side then he is facing north direction.

If the person facing towards south direction then what will be the condition at the time of sunrise and sunset.

Sun rises East.

They meet at Morning time. Facing at opposite direction.

NORTH Vishal.

WEST EAST.

Left <-------- Udai <----------- East.

Shadow sun light.

SOUTH.

So Udai facing north.

They took EW in a different way than the normal. What if they take east on right and west on south. In north and south, north at top and south at bottom. Vishal's will be facing south and not north.

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.

Can anyone explain in detail?

Correct answer. Because the sun rises morning at east. Shadow of Vishal will appear in west. So Udai facing north direction.

@Nirosha is correct. If Vishal & Udai would face along the East west direction, then the answer will differ.
