Question

A man is facing East, then he turns left and goes $10\;m$, then turns right and goes \[5\;m\] then goes \[5\;m\] to the South and from there \[5\;m\] to West. In which direction is he from his original place?
(A) East
(B) West
(C) North
(D) South

Answer 1

Hint: Sketch the diagram and follow the instructions as given in the question. Consider the top as north, bottom as south, right side as east and left as west.

Complete step-by-step answer:
A man is facing East, then he turns left and goes \[10\;m\], then turns right and goes \[5\;m\] then goes \[5\;m\] to the South and from there \[5\;m\] to West.
:When we are solving this type of questions, we need to follow the steps
provided in the hint part above.

Let man start with O and goes to \[10\;m\] north and he reaches to A then he turns right goes \[5\;m\] and reaches to B point then goes in the south \[5\;m\] and reaches to P and clearly we can see that point P is at north direction.
So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: In this question firstly draw the appropriate diagram with taking care of the distances as this can create confusion by taking the longer side for some length and the greater side for the same length. Use proper lengths by scale and also take care of the directions.
