Mahesh was standing facing a pole in the morning after sunrise. The shadow of the pole fell exactly to his left. Which direction is he facing?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → North
In the morning the Sun is in the East, so shadows fall towards the West, on the side away from the Sun.
The shadow of the pole points West
The shadow is on Mahesh’s left, so his left hand is towards the West
A person whose left is West faces North (his right is then East, his back South)
Mahesh is facing North.
