$\begin{figure} \par {\includegraphics[width=8.1cm,clip]{{1279fig1.eps}} } \end{figure}$ Figure 1: A typical I (mag) versus (V-I) (mag) CMD is shown. The red clump stars are identified as stars within the box shown.

$\begin{figure} \par {\includegraphics[width=8cm,clip]{1279fig2.eps} } \end{figure}$ Figure 2: Number distribution of red clump stars as a function of (V-I) mag is shown as a histogram. The fitted curve is also shown. The estimated values of the peak of the function, error in the estimation of the peak and reduced $\chi ^2$ value of the fit are also shown in the figure. This data is obtained within a area of $3.56\times 3.56$ arcmin² centered at the location $\rm RA = 5 ^h 32 ^m 45 ^s$ and $\rm Dec = -70^\circ 25' 37''$ .

$\begin{figure} \par {\includegraphics[width=8.3cm,clip]{1279fig3.eps} } \end{figure}$ Figure 3: The estimates of reduced $\chi ^2$ value, width of the profile ( $\sigma$ ) and error in the peak value of (V-I) are shown as a function of $\alpha$ . In the top panel, the dashed line indicates the cut-off value of reduced $\chi ^2$ value.

Different colours are used to denote locations with different values of reddening, which is explained in the figure. The missing points are due to locations for which reliable estimates of reddening could not be obtained. The plus sign denotes the optical center of the LMC.

$\begin{figure} \par {\includegraphics[width=8.cm,clip]{1279fig5.eps} } \end{figure}$ Figure 5: E(V-I) reddening values are shown as a function of $\alpha$ in the top panel and as a function of $\delta$ in the lower panel. The error in the estimation is also shown. The crosses denote the reddening estimation on Udalski et al. (1999), which is the average for each strip. The error denotes the scatter in the reddening estimated for four subsections in a strip.
