ASouth

BNorth

CEast

DWest

Answer:

B. North

Read Explanation:

  • The problem involves determining directions based on shadow formation.
  • Basic Concepts of Shadow Formation:
    • In the morning, the sun rises in the East. Therefore, shadows will fall towards the West.
  • Given that Arun's shadow falls to Manu's left:
    • If Manu is facing North, his left side would be towards the West.
    • Since Arun's shadow is on Manu's left (West), Manu must be facing North.
  • Therefore, Manu is facing North.
  • Key Directions to Remember:
    • North: Top
    • South: Bottom
    • East: Right
    • West: Left
