Shweta goes towards East 5 km then she takes a turn to South-West and goes 5 km. She again takes a turn towards North-West and goes 5 km with respect to the point from where she started, where is she now ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: At the starting Point
The south-west and north-west legs carry her equally south and north, so those parts cancel; what is left of them carries her back westward over the ground covered by the first leg, bringing her round to the point she started from.

K is 40 m South-West of L. If M is 40 m South-East of L, then M is in which direction of K?
