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 his shadow should be on the west not on the north.

Is it important that everytime north will point downwards can't it be at the top. If yes then the answer will be south.

I think north option is correct due to.
Vishal shadow is left side that is toward west due to morning time.
Hence its shadow was left hand of udai.
Vishal shadow is left side that is toward west due to morning time.
Hence its shadow was left hand of udai.

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.

Here, we are talking about morning time and all we know the sun rises in the east. That's why question can be easily answered.
