The door of Bhawna's house faces the West. From the back of her house, she walks 35 meter straight, then turns left and walks 50 meter. Finally, she turns left and stops after walking 50 meter. Now, Bhawna is in which direction from the starting point?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → North-West
The door faces West, so the back of the house faces East, and Bhawna starts by walking East. Each turn is taken from the direction she is facing at that moment:
She walks 35 m facing East.
Facing East, a left turn is North: she walks 50 m North.
Facing North, a left turn is West: she walks 50 m West.
Her position from the starting point:
East–West: 35 m East, then 50 m West, so she ends \(50-35=15\) m West
North–South: 50 m North
West and North together: North-West
