One morning Udai and Vishal were talking to each other face to face at a crossing. If Vishal's shadow was exactly to the left of Udai, which direction was Udai facing?

Answer: Option C

let's break down this direction problem!

The key to solving this is understanding how shadows form in the morning.
In the morning, the sun rises in the East.
This means that shadows will generally be cast towards the West.

Now, the question says Vishal's shadow was to the left of Udai.
Since the shadow is cast towards the West, and it's to Udai's left, this means Udai must be facing North.

Think of it like this: If Udai is facing North, his left side would be towards the West, where Vishal's shadow is.

Therefore, the answer is: North.
So the correct option is (C).
