Facing direction after two right turns: A man walks 2 km north, turns right and walks 2 km, turns right again and continues. Which direction is he facing now?

Introduction / Context:This item is about orientation (heading) after successive right turns starting from north.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Initial heading: North.
• First right ⇒ East.
• Second right ⇒ South.
• Asked: current facing immediately after the second right while he proceeds.

Concept / Approach:Turning right rotates the heading 90° clockwise each time. Two such turns from North lead to South.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Compass mnemonic (N→E→S→W clockwise) confirms the result.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• East is the intermediate heading after the first right.
• North/West contradict the specified turns.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing “direction facing” with “direction of displacement”—we need the immediate heading.

Final Answer:South
