Difficulty: EasyDirection and Distance Test

Rohan starts walking from his house and travels 10 m10\text{ m} towards the East. He then turns to his right and walks 5 m5\text{ m}. Next, he turns to his left and walks 10 m10\text{ m}. Finally, he turns to his left again and walks 5 m5\text{ m}. In which direction is Rohan currently facing?

  1. NorthAnswer
  2. B
    South
  3. C
    East
  4. D
    West

Answer

Following the turn sequence step-by-step: East →\rightarrow Right turn →\rightarrow South →\rightarrow Left turn →\rightarrow East →\rightarrow Left turn →\rightarrow North. Therefore, Rohan is currently facing North.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Track initial direction
Rohan travels 10 m10\text{ m} East, so he is facing East.
Establishes the starting orientation.
2
Apply first right turn
A 90∘90^\circ right turn from East reorients him facing South.
Turning right when facing East points towards South.
3
Apply second turn (left turn)
A 90∘90^\circ left turn from South reorients him facing East.
Turning left when facing South points towards East.
4
Apply final turn (left turn)
A 90∘90^\circ left turn from East reorients him facing North.
Turning left when facing East points towards North.
