The correct option is B If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
The question is based on the fact that in the early morning sun rises in the east and the shadow of an object/person at this time falls exactly in the west.
From I, we know that Rahul and the puppet are facing each other. The shadow of the puppet falls to the right of Rahul and hence to the left of the puppet. Thus, the sun is to the right of the puppet. But the sun is in the east. So, The puppet is facing North and thus, Rahul is facing South.
From II, we know that on turning left the shadow falls behind Rahul. This means Rahul faces the sun (i.e. East) on turning left. Thus, Rahul is facing South.
