A taxi driver drives 10 km North, turns left and drives 5 km (West), waits, then turns right and drives 10 km (North). Having covered 25 km total, in which direction is he now?

Introduction / Context:
The query asks for the current facing after the last movement, not the position. Only turns matter for orientation.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Start: North.
• Left from North → West.
• Right from West → North.

Concept / Approach:
Track facing across turns; distances and waiting are irrelevant to orientation.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Initial heading North.After left: West.After right: North.Final facing: North.

Verification / Alternative check:
Left then right returns to the original heading.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
East/West/South do not match the final orientation after the stated turns.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “direction now he may be” with location; here it refers to facing.

Final Answer:
North
