Question

Deepa moved a distance of 75 meters towards the north. She then turned left again and walked 80 meters. Finally, she turned to the right at an angle of 45°. In which direction was she moving finally?

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

Hint:

For directional problems, visualize or sketch the directions to trace the path of movement clearly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's break the movement down:
- First, Deepa moves 75 meters towards the North.
- Then, she turns left and moves 80 meters. Since she was facing North, turning left makes her face West. So, she moves 80 meters towards the West.
- Finally, she turns right at a 45° angle. Since she was facing West, turning right means she will now face South-West (because the right turn from West at a 45° angle brings her diagonally to South-West).
Thus, the direction in which she is finally moving is South-West, corresponding to option (d).
