Answer options

  1. East
  2. West
  3. North
  4. South

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: South

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: D) South 📚 Explanation: In the morning, the sun is in the East, so shadows fall to the West. If Bikram's shadow falls to his right, he must be facing North. Since Shailesh is standing back-to-back with him, Shailesh must be facing South. Shadow direction problems require fixing the compass based on the sun's position.
