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
In the morning the sun is in the East, so every shadow falls towards the West. The side on which the shadow lies tells us which way the person beside it is facing.
Neelam’s shadow falls to the West, and it is to Rashi’s right, so Rashi’s right hand points West
A person whose right hand points West is facing South, so Rashi faces South
The two are face to face, so Neelam faces the opposite way: North
