Question

Bala walked 25 km towards west, took a left turn and walked 15 km. He again took a left turn and walked 30 km. He then took a right turn and stopped. Now he was facing which direction?

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

Hint:

Keep a fixed compass: from West, a left turn points South; from South, a left turn points East; from East, a right turn points South. Writing the sequence of facings avoids coordinate confusion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Track facing directions with each turn.
Start moving \(\Rightarrow\) facing \(West\).
Left turn from West \(\Rightarrow\) facing \(South\); walk 15 km.
Left turn from South \(\Rightarrow\) facing \(East\); walk 30 km.
Right turn from East \(\Rightarrow\) facing \(\boxed{South}\). \[ \boxed{\text{Facing South}} \]
