Ismail's Home

On the phone Ismail told Srijata the route to his house from her house. The route map is shown here.

This is what Ismail told Srijata:
"From your house, reach the milk-booth and then take a left turn. From the second crossing take a right turn and go over the bridge. Go straight and then take the first right turn. After about 100 metres you will see a big park.
When you cross the park you will come to a side lane. My house is the first house in that lane.
• Did Ismail go wrong somewhere? Can you correct him?
• Show where Srijata will reach if she takes the route he told her.
• Write the directions for going from Ismail's house to Srijata's house.

Solution

Yes, Ismail went wrong when he told Srijata to take a right turn after crossing the bridge.

In order to reach Ismail's house, Srijata should take the first left turn after crossing the bridge. After about a 100 metres, a big park will be seen. After crossing that park, a side lane will come. The first house of that lane will be Ismail's house.

If Srijata takes the route as told by Ismail, then she will reach somewhere in the opposite direction to that of Ismail's house.

Go straight and then take the first right turn. Go straight and then take a left turn from the second crossing after reaching the milk-booth, take a right turn. After about 100 metres, you will reach Srijata's house.
