A walks 2 km southward and takes a right-turn and walks 5 km and then turns left and walks 3 km and again turning left walks 5 km. In which direction is he now from the starting point?

  1. A.

    South east

  2. B.

    South

  3. C.

    East

  4. D.

    West

Answer

B

Explanation

Starting at (0,0)(0,0):

  1. 2 km South →(0,−2)\rightarrow (0, -2)
  2. Turn right (West), 5 km →(−5,−2)\rightarrow (-5, -2)
  3. Turn left (South), 3 km →(−5,−5)\rightarrow (-5, -5)
  4. Turn left (East), 5 km →(0,−5)\rightarrow (0, -5). Final position is (0,−5)(0, -5), which is directly South of the starting point (0,0)(0,0).
