At 8 a.m. on a sunny day, Divya stands facing a flagpole. The shadow of the flagpole falls straight towards her. Which direction is Divya facing? (The Sun rises in the East.)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → East
In the morning the Sun is in the East, so shadows fall towards the West, on the side away from the Sun.
The flagpole’s shadow points West from the pole
The shadow falls towards Divya, so she stands to the West of the pole
She faces the pole, which is to her East
Divya is facing East.
