Question

A square field ABCD of side 90 m has its diagonal AC from North to South and corner B is to the East of D. Person 'X' crosses the field diagonally starting from corner D. After walking half the distance, he turns right, walks some distance and turns left. Which direction is X facing now?

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

Hint:

In direction problems, visualize the movement and turns in terms of cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) and adjust based on the given sequence of movements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's break down X's movements:
X starts at corner D and walks diagonally across the square field towards corner A. The diagonal AC is from North to South.
After walking half the distance of the diagonal (45 meters), he turns right. Since the diagonal is from North to South, turning right will point him towards the West.
After walking some distance, he turns left. Turning left from facing West will point him towards the South.
Thus, after the turn, X will be facing East.
