Question

Debu walks towards the east then towards North and turning 45° right walks for a while and lastly turns towards left. In which direction is he walking now?

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine the final direction Debu is walking in, let's analyze the path by breaking it down step by step:

1. Starting Position: Debu begins at point A and walks towards the East. This movement is along the x-axis.
2. First Turn: Debu then turns North. North is 90° counter-clockwise from East, moving along the y-axis from point B.
3. Second Turn: Debu turns 45° to the right. Since he is currently facing North, a 45° right turn places him in the North-East direction.
4. Final Turn: Debu turns left. From North-East, a left turn is 90° counter-clockwise, which points him towards the North-West.

Thus, after analyzing each directional change, we conclude that Debu is now walking in the North-West direction.
