Question

Raj is standing in the middle of a square field. He starts walking diagonally to North–East and after reaching midway, he turns right and reaches the far end of the field. Then, he turns right and starts walking. In the midway, he again turns right and starts walking. In halfway, he turns to his left and reaches a new far end. In what direction is Raj now?

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

Hint:

Draw the path on a diagram to track each turn and direction; remember right turn = 90° clockwise, left turn = 90° counterclockwise.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Trace Raj’s movements carefully: 1. Starts at center, walks diagonally North-East (NE) to the midway point. 2. Turns right from NE, which points him South-East (SE), and walks to the far end. 3. Turns right again from SE, facing South-West (SW), begins walking. 4. At midway, turns right from SW, now facing North-West (NW). 5. Halfway, turns left from NW, ending facing South-West (SW). Therefore, Raj’s final direction is South-West.
