Seema starts walking in the West direction from point P. She walks 10 km and takes a left turn. After travelling a distance of 5 km, she turns to her left and travels 3 km. Then she walks 5 km towards the North direction and turns 45° in the clockwise direction. In what direction is she travelling now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → North-East
Each left turn is taken from the direction she is facing at that moment; only the last direction matters for the answer.
She starts facing West and walks 10 km
Facing West, a left turn is South: she walks 5 km South
Facing South, a left turn is East: she walks 3 km East
She then walks 5 km North, so she is facing North
A turn of 45° clockwise from North points her halfway between North and East: North-East
