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 route: 1. Begin at the center, move diagonally North-East (NE) to the midpoint. 2. Turn right from NE, heading South-East (SE), proceed to the far end. 3. Turn right again from SE, facing South-West (SW), commence movement. 4. At the midpoint, turn right from SW, now facing North-West (NW). 5. Midway, turn left from NW, concluding with a South-West (SW) facing. Raj's final direction is South-West.
