Evening scenario: Raja begins walking toward the Sun (West), then turns right, then right again, then right once more. In which direction is he facing now?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: South

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
In the evening the Sun is in the West. Three successive right turns rotate the facing by 270° clockwise from the initial heading.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Initial facing: West (toward the Sun in the evening).
  • Sequence: right → right → right.


Concept / Approach:
Apply right turns stepwise: West → North → East → South.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Start West.Right to North.Right to East.Right to South.



Verification / Alternative check:
Three rights equal one left (90°) from the initial heading; left from West is South.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
East/North/West correspond to intermediate steps or the start, not the final orientation.



Common Pitfalls:
Assuming morning instead of evening for the initial direction.



Final Answer:
South
