One morning after sunrise, Rashi and Neelam were talking to each other face to face at Tilak Chowk. If Neelam's shadow was exactly to the right of Rashi. Which direction Neelam was facing?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → North
After sunrise the sun is in the east, so every shadow falls towards the west. Neelam’s shadow therefore points west, and it is said to lie exactly to the right of Rashi.
If west is on Rashi’s right hand, Rashi must be facing south. The two are talking face to face, so Neelam, standing opposite her, faces north.
