Rajeev starts from his house towards the north-east. After walking 50 meters, he turned towards the south-east and walked 50 meters, then he walked 50 metres in the south-west direction. Finally, he turns towards his house. In which direction is he moving?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → North-West
North-east, south-east and south-west are each a right angle apart, so each change of direction is a turn of 90° to the right, and the three walks of 50 m are three sides of a square.
The house is at the fourth corner of the square
The last walk was towards the south-west, so he is now to the south-east of his house
Walking back to the house, he moves towards the North-West
