Initial Direction of Travel
CMAT 2024 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Direction Sense
Miss 'Lilly' started her journey from her house and goes 2 km straight. Then, she turns towards her right and goes 1 km. She again turns towards her right and goes 1 km again. If finally she is in the north-west direction from her house, then in which direction did she go in the beginning ?
- A.
North
- B.
South
- C.
East
- D.
West
D
Explanation
If she started North: 2 km North Right turn (East) 1 km Right turn (South) 1 km. End position relative to start: North-East.
Since final position is given as North-West (which is counter-clockwise from North-East), her initial direction must also be rotated counter-clockwise from North, which is West.
Hence, Option D is correct.
