A man walks 6 km South, turns left and walks 4 km (toward East), then turns left and walks 5 km. Which direction is he facing now?

Introduction / Context:This item is about the final facing after two left turns starting from South. Remember that left or right is always relative to the current heading.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Start facing South.
• First left from South → East.
• Second left from East → North.
• Distances do not affect the orientation.

Concept / Approach:Apply successive 90° left rotations from the current heading: South → East → North.

Step-by-Step Solution:Facing South initially.Left → East.Left → North.Therefore, final facing is North.

Verification / Alternative check:Visualize a compass rose and rotate counterclockwise twice.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:South/East/West do not match the second left from East.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing absolute vs relative directions for left/right.

Final Answer:North
