Rahul’s shadow falls on his right when he leaves home at the sunset. He walks 5 m to the right, takes a right turn and moves 10 m. He now goes west and walks 9 m. He then walks 5 m to the right, takes a left turn and moves 12 m. He takes a final right turn and walks 6 m. Where is his home w.r.t. to his end position?

We know that in the evening, the sun is in the west, so the shadow of an object falls towards its east.

Since Rahul’s shadow was on right side, he must be facing north initially.

The path taken by Rahul is as shown below:
