A man walks 2 km North, then turns right and walks 2 km, then turns right again and continues walking. What direction is he facing now (after the second right)?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: South

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The question is about the current facing after a sequence of turns, not the final position. Two successive right turns from North lead to South.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Start facing North.
  • Right turn → East.
  • Right turn → South.


Concept / Approach:
Track only orientation: North → East → South.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Initial heading: North.After first right: East.After second right: South.



Verification / Alternative check:
Two right turns equal a 180° clockwise rotation from the initial heading.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
South-East/West/North do not reflect two consecutive 90° right turns starting from North.



Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking distances; they do not affect facing.



Final Answer:
South
