Aman starts walking from his home. After walking for 20 meters in the west direction, he turns right and walks 50 meters. Next he walks 5 meters in the east direction. In which direction is he now with respect to his starting point?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → North-West
A turn is taken from the direction he is facing at that moment: facing West, a right turn is North.
The 5 m East walk takes back only part of the 20 m West, so he ends 15 m West and 50 m North of his home. A point that is both north and west of the start lies North-West of it.
