Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

• Mr. X starts by walking 30 metres towards the west.
• He then turns to his right (facing north) and walks 20 metres.
• Next, he turns left (now facing west again) and walks 10 metres.
• After that, he turns left again (now facing south) and walks 40 metres.
• Then, he turns left again (now facing east) and walks 5 metres.
• Finally, he turns left again (now facing north), and this is the direction in which he is walking.

Thus, after all the turns, Mr. X is walking towards the north.
