Solution 1

Murthy was facing South.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. We know that shadows form on the opposite side of a light source. In the morning after sunrise, the sun is in the East.

  2. If Murthy's shadow was exactly to the right of Sunak, that means the sun (and thus the East) is to Murthy's left.

  3. If East is to his left, then Murthy must be facing South.

Solution 2

The sun rises in the east. If Murthy's shadow was exactly to the right of Sunak, this means the sun was shining from the left of Sunak. Therefore, Sunak was facing towards the west. Since Sunak and Murthy were talking face to face, Murthy was facing the opposite direction, which is east. So, Murthy was facing east.

Solution 3

To answer this question, we need to understand how shadows work. In the morning after sunrise, the sun is in the east. Shadows always fall opposite to the direction of the sun. So, if Murthy's shadow was to the right of Sunak, that means the sun was to the left of Sunak. Therefore, Sunak was facing towards the sun, which is in the east. Since Sunak and Murthy were facing each other, Murthy was facing the opposite direction, which is west. So, Murthy was facing west.
