Question

Which direction is Raju facing at the moment? 
Statement I - Raju took 2 consecutive right turns after covering a distance of 6m to reach the point X. 
Statement II - After walking 4m early morning from point X, Raju is facing opposite direction of the sun.

• A. If the question can be answered with the help of statement I alone.
• B. If the question can be answered with the help of statement II alone.
• C. If both, statement I and statement II are needed to answer the question.
• D. If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both the statements.

Hint:

For direction-based problems, it's important to combine information about movements with environmental clues like the position of the sun to determine the final direction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's break down both statements to determine Raju's direction:
Statement (I): "Raju took 2 consecutive right turns after covering a distance of 6m to reach the point X."
From this statement, we know Raju took two right turns, but we don't know in which direction he started. A right turn from any direction would give us a new direction, but without knowing his initial direction, we can't determine the final direction.
Statement (II): "After walking 4m early morning from point X, Raju is facing the opposite direction of the sun."
This statement helps us understand Raju's orientation with respect to the sun. Since it's early morning, the sun is in the east. Facing the opposite direction means Raju is facing west.
Combining both statements:
From statement (I), we know Raju made two right turns, but without knowing his initial direction, we can't determine his exact facing direction.
Statement (II) gives us the final direction, as Raju faces west, the opposite of the east where the sun rises in the morning.
Therefore, both statements together are required to determine that Raju is facing west.
