A man walks towards the North. After a while, he turns to his right and, a little further, to his left. Finally, after walking a distance of one kilometre, he turns to his left again. In which direction is he moving now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → West
A right turn moves the facing direction one step clockwise (North → East) and a left turn one step anticlockwise (East → North → West). Only the turns matter here; the distances do not change the direction.
Starts facing North
Turns right: now facing East
Turns left: now facing North again
After 1 km, turns left: now facing West
He is moving towards the West.
