Correct Answer: SouthYour Answer: A

Explanation

Step 1: Use the standard exam convention for India: the Sun is in the East in the morning and in the West in the evening. | Step 2: For the stated time, mark the Sun in the East. | Step 3: A shadow forms opposite the light source, so mark the shadow in the West. | Step 4: Now answer the exact object asked about—Sun, shadow, or the person's facing direction. | Step 5: Place West on the stated right side of the person; this makes the person face South. | Step 6: Check the result on a four-direction compass; the left/right relation and the opposite-direction rule must both hold. | Final Answer: Option A — South.

Important Notes

  • A shadow always extends opposite the Sun. |
  • Therefore a morning shadow points West and an evening shadow points East. |
  • First determine the absolute shadow direction, then use the person's left or right relation. |
  • If West lies on a person's left, the person faces North; if West lies on the right, the person faces South. |
