Solution

The correct option is A True
There will not be any difference in the shape of the shadow formed in both cases. A circular area of light is blocked by the metal bowl in each case. Hence, both the shadows will be in a circular shape. Also, the size of the shadow changes if the distance between the light source, the metal bowl and the screen is changed.
