Question

If a person is walking towards North, what directions should he follow so that he is walking towards West?
(A) Right, Right, Left
(B) Left, Right, Right
(C) Left, Right, Left
(D) Left, Left, Left

Answer 1

Hint: The four cardinal directions, sometimes known as cardinal points, are north, east, south, and west, and are typically indicated by the letters N, E, S, and W. East and west are perpendicular to north and south (at right angles), with east rotating clockwise from north and west rotating exactly opposite east. The compass points are the intersections of the cardinal directions.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
Northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW) are the ordinal (also known as intercardinal) directions (NW). The eight shortest points in the compass rose displayed to the right are called secondary intercardinal directions, which are the intermediate direction of every combination of intercardinal and cardinal directions (e.g. NNE, ENE, and ESE). The degrees of rotation in the unit circle are regularly connected with the directional designations, which is required for navigational calculations (derived from trigonometry) and usage with Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receivers. The following degrees of a compass relate to the four cardinal directions:
North (N): $ 0^\circ {\text{ }} = {\text{ }}360^\circ $
East (E): $ 90^\circ $
South (S): $ 180^\circ $
West (W): $ 270^\circ $

From the above options we may deduce using the above image that
option A
North $ \to $ (Right) East $ \to $ (Right) South $ \to $ (Right)East
option B
North $ \to $ (Left) West $ \to $ (Right)North $ \to $ (Right) East
option C
North $ \to $ (Left) West $ \to $ (Right) North $ \to $ (Left) West
option D
North $ \to $ (Left) West $ \to $ (Left) South $ \to $ (Left) East
Hence option C is correct.

Note:
Cartographers make conventional maps with north (N) at the top and east (E) at the right, with the cardinal points correctly delineated. Cardinal directions provide the cornerstone of a framework for informing someone how to reach those locations, and maps give a systematic way to record where places are. North does not have to be at the very top of the list. In mediaeval Europe, for example, most maps out east (E) at the top. South-up maps are preferred by a few cartographers.
