Answer
Correct Answer: North
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Three one-kilometre legs forming three sides of a unit square; determine the final heading.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Start South 1.
- Left from South ⇒ East 1.
- Left from East ⇒ North 1.
Concept / Approach:Two left turns from South progress heading to North.
Step-by-Step Solution:
South → East → North.Verification / Alternative check:Visualising the square confirms the final leg heads up (north).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:East/West/South-West do not match the final left from East.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “where he is” with “what he is facing.” Here we need the heading.
Final Answer:North
