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
