In the morning a man is standing facing North. In which direction will his shadow be formed?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → West
A shadow always falls on the side opposite to the Sun. In the morning the Sun is in the East, so every shadow falls towards the West.
The man faces North, so the East (the Sun) is on his right.
His shadow falls away from the Sun, on his left, that is, towards the West.
Tip: Morning shadows point West and evening shadows point East, whichever way the person is facing.
