In which direction is she walking now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → South
A right turn moves the facing a quarter turn clockwise (North → East → South → West), and a left turn a quarter turn anticlockwise. The distances do not change the facing; only the turns do.
She starts walking West (50 m).
Right turn: West → North (20 m)
Left turn: North → West (40 m)
Left turn: West → South (40 m)
Right turn: South → West (10 m)
Left turn: West → South
