Neeta started from point X and walked straight 5 km West, then turned left and walked 2 km and again turned left and walked straight 7 km. In which direction is she from X?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → South-East
A left turn moves the facing a quarter turn anticlockwise (West → South → East → North). Track the facing after each turn, then add up the distances in each direction.
She starts facing West and walks 5 km West.
Left turn: West → South; she walks 2 km South.
Left turn: South → East; she walks 7 km East.
East–west: 7 km East and 5 km West leave her 2 km East of X.
North–south: 2 km South of X.
She is East and South of X at the same time, that is, South-East of X.
