Answer
Correct Answer: South
Explanation
Concept In the evening, the sun is in the West, so shadows point East.
Inference Hema’s shadow (East) is to her right ⇒ East is on Hema’s right ⇒ Hema faces North (because when you face North, East lies to your right). They face each other, so Rekha faces the opposite of North, i.e., South.
