One morning just after sunrise, Pooja and Kiran stand facing each other. Pooja's shadow falls to her right. Kiran's shadow falls to his left or right? Choose the correct statement about Kiran.

Kiran faces north and his shadow falls to his left. The morning shadow points west. Pooja has west on her right, so she faces south. Kiran faces her, so he faces north, and west is then on his left.

  2. BKiran's shadow falls to his right and he faces north
  3. CKiran's shadow falls to his left and he faces north
  4. DKiran's shadow falls to his right and he faces south

Explanation

After sunrise shadows fall west. Pooja's right is west, so she faces south (facing south, right hand points west). Kiran faces her, so he faces north. Facing north, his left is west, so his shadow falls to his left. Hence Kiran faces north with the shadow on his left. Check: option 'left and faces south' is wrong, so recheck: the correct statement is that Kiran faces north with the shadow on his left.
