Sonal was running from her coaching class one evening just before sunset. She was waiting for the bus at a square, where she met her friend Shalini coming from the front. At that time, Shalini’s shadow was directly falling on Sonal. In which direction was Shalini facing towards?

Sonal was waiting for the bus at a square just before sunset.

Shalini was coming from the front and met Sonal at that square.

Shalini’s shadow was directly falling on Sonal at that time.

Therefore, Shalini must be facing towards the direction where her shadow is falling from,

Hence, Shalini was facing towards the East.
