A soldier stands facing the North. On the command ‘Right turn’ he turns \(90^\circ\) to his right, and on the command ‘About turn’ he turns through \(180^\circ\). He is given the commands ‘Right turn’, ‘About turn’ and ‘Right turn’, in that order. Which direction is he facing now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → North
A right turn moves the facing direction one step clockwise (North → East, West → North); an about turn makes him face the opposite direction.

Right turn: now facing East
About turn: now facing West
