Amit walked 30 m towards the East, took a right turn and walked 40 m. Then he took a left turn and walked 30 m. In which direction is he now from the starting point?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → South-East
A right turn moves the facing direction one step clockwise and a left turn one step anticlockwise (North → East → South → West → North). Track the facing direction after every turn.
Facing East, 30 m: 30 m east of the start
Turns right, now facing South, 40 m: 30 m east, 40 m south
Turns left, now facing East, 30 m: \(30+30=60\) m east, 40 m south
He is south and east of the start
He is South-East of the starting point.
