Final facing after N→W→N→E route: Man: North 10 m → left 25 m (West) → right 5 m (North) → right 25 m (East). Which direction is he facing now?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: East

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:We track the last executed turn to find the current heading.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Start facing North.
  • Left ⇒ West.
  • Right ⇒ North.
  • Right ⇒ East.

Concept / Approach:Right from North is East; he is currently walking eastward.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Heading sequence: N → W → N → E.

Verification / Alternative check:Component sums place him east of the starting vertical; the last turn confirms facing East.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They conflict with the final right turn from North.

Common Pitfalls:Answering with position (he is north of start) rather than heading. The question asks “Which direction is he facing now?”

Final Answer:East
