Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: In the morning the Sun is in the east, so shadows are cast toward the west. They are facing each other, so Vishal faces the opposite direction to Udai.
In the morning the Sun is in the east, therefore Vishal's shadow falls to the west of Vishal.
The statement says Vishal's shadow is exactly to the left of Udai, so Udai's left must be toward the west.
If Udai's left is west, Udai must be facing north.
Answer: North
