A torch is placed at two different positions A and B, one by one, as shown in Fig.

The shape of the shadow obtained in two positions is shown in the given Fig.

Match the position of the torch and shape of the shadow of the ball.

Answer 1

$A\to a$
$B\to b$

Position A of the torch will form the shadow (a) and position B of the torch will form the shadow (b) of the football. Here, the difference in the shape of shadows (a) and (b) of the ball is due to the difference in the positions of the torch from the ball.
