Question

Ganesh moves $20$ meters towards East from his house. Then he turns left $3$ times each time covering a distance of $20$ meters. Finally he takes $2$ successive right turns, each time covering a distance of $20$ meters. In which direction is he with respect to his house?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D North-West

Ganesh moves 20 m East takes 3 left turns each time covering 20 m.

So we can see in above figure that he comes back to the original position he started from.

He then takes two right turns each time covering 20 m.

When he take first right then he is in west direction from the house.

And as he takes second right, it means he moves in North direction.

So, finally he is in North-West direction from his house.

Hence, option D is correct.
