I am facing East ; I go 20 meters then turning to the left I go 20 meters, then after turning to the right I go 40 meters and then I go 40 meters to the right, now in which direction am I from my original position ?

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

Answer: B

The person ends up South-East of the start.

Starting facing east: 20 m east; turn left (north), 20 m; turn right (east again), 40 m; then turn right (south), 40 m.

East in total: \(20 + 40 = 60\) m. North-south: 20 m north, then 40 m south, leaving 20 m south. A point 60 m east and 20 m south of the start lies to the south-east. 'East' ignores the net southward movement, and the west options misread the turns.
