At 5 p.m. on a sunny day, Aarav stands on a straight road and notices that his shadow falls exactly behind him. Which direction is he facing? (The Sun sets in the West.)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → West
In the evening the Sun is in the West, so shadows fall towards the East, on the side away from the Sun.
Aarav’s shadow points East
The shadow is behind him, so his back is towards the East
A person whose back is East faces West, towards the Sun
Aarav is facing West.
