Vijay travels a distance of 5 km in the south. Then he turns to his right. After walking 5 km, he again turns to his right and walks 5 km. In which direction is he from his starting place?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → West
Each turn is taken from the direction Vijay is facing at that moment:
He walks 5 km South, so he faces South
Facing South, a right turn is West: he walks 5 km West
Facing West, a right turn is North: he walks 5 km North, which cancels the 5 km South
Only the 5 km West is left over, so he ends 5 km West of his starting place.
