Question

Kailash faces towards north. Turnings to his right, he walks 25 metres. He then turns to his left and walks 30 metres. Next, he moves 25 metres to his right. He then turns to the right again and moves 40 metres. In which direction is he now from his starting point? 

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

Hint:

For direction-based problems, always visualize the movements step by step, using the standard cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) to ensure accurate results.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Facing north, turn right to face east and walk 25 m: East = +25.

Step 2: Turn left from east to face north and walk 30 m: North = +30.

Step 3: Turn right from north to face east and walk 25 m: East = +25 + 25 = +50.

Step 4: Turn right from east to face south and walk 40 m: North = +30 − 40 = −10, meaning 10 m south. Net position is 50 m east and 10 m south of the start.
\[ \boxed{\text{South-East}} \]
