Refer to attachment for better understanding
Before going into question let's have glance about directions of sun and shadow of an object during sunset and sunrise.
Direction of sun and object during sunrise
Generally we all know that sun always rises in the east. So shadow of an object will form on the opposite direction i.e WEST.
Direction of sun and object during sunset
Well, sun rises in east and sets in west. So shadow of an object will form in the EAST.
Now let us the relationships between all four direction
- EAST is right to SOUTH
- WEST is left to SOUTH
- NORTH is left to WEST
- SOUTH is right to WEST
- NORTH is opposite to SOUTH
- WEST is right to NORTH
- EAST is left to NORTH
- NORTH is right to EAST
- SOUTH is left to NORTH
Now coming to question
Raju was returning from school during sunset. And on the way to home he saw his brother coming in opposite direction. He noticed that his brother's shadow is on his right side. As we have discussed above we can deduce by saying that his brother's shadow is on EAST direction and sun on WEST direction.
And now to know in what direction Raju is coming we should know what direction is right for EAST as shadow is on his right i.e EAST
EAST is right to SOUTH. And therefore Raju was coming from SOUTH direction.
