Question

A person walks 10 m North, then turns right and walks 5 m, then turns right again and walks 10 m. What direction is he facing now?

• A. North
• B. South
• C. East
• D. West

Hint:

To solve direction problems, track each turn and direction step-by-step. Turning right from North leads to East; turning right from East leads to South.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the final direction the person is facing, we will follow the sequence of movements described:

1. The person initially walks 10 m North.

2. They then turn right from North and walk 5 m. Turning right from North points them East.

3. They turn right again after that movement. Since they were facing East, turning right from East points them South and they walk 10 m.

At this point, after the described movements, the person makes three movements consisting of two right turns:

• North → Right (East)
• East → Right (South)
• South → Right → East

Hence, the person ends facing East.

Answer 2

Understanding Directions and Turns
To solve this problem, we need to carefully track both the movement and the facing direction after each turn. Remember that:

• A right turn changes your facing direction 90° clockwise
• The cardinal directions follow this sequence: North → East → South → West → North...

Step-by-Step Movement Analysis

Initial Position

• Starting point: Arbitrary origin (0,0)
• Initial facing direction: North

First Movement: 10 m North

• Action: Walks straight 10 meters North
• Result: Moves from (0,0) to (0,10)
• Facing direction remains: North

First Right Turn

• Current facing direction before turn: North
• Turning right from North: North → East
• New facing direction: East

Second Movement: 5 m East

• Action: Walks 5 meters in the current facing direction (East)
• Result: Moves from (0,10) to (5,10)
• Facing direction remains: East

Second Right Turn

• Current facing direction before turn: East
• Turning right from East: East → South
• New facing direction: South

Third Movement: 10 m South

• Action: Walks 10 meters in the current facing direction (South)
• Result: Moves from (5,10) to (5,0)
• Facing direction remains: South

Final Orientation

• Final position: (5,0) relative to starting point
• Final facing direction: South

Verification
Let's verify the direction sequence:

1. Start facing North
2. After first right turn: East
3. After second right turn: South

This confirms our step-by-step analysis is correct.

Conclusion:
After carefully tracking each movement and turn, we determine that the person is facing: \[ \boxed{\text{South}} \]
