P starts walking from the north towards the south. She then turns right at a right angle and walks in that direction, and after that she again turns right at a right angle and walks further. In which direction is she ultimately walking?

Introduction / Context:
This direction sense question focuses purely on the final orientation of P after a sequence of right angle turns. Distances are not specified because they are irrelevant to the final direction of movement. The problem tests the ability to mentally track right turns starting from an initial southward direction.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• P starts by walking from north towards south, so her initial facing direction is south.
• She then turns right at a right angle and walks in that new direction.
• She again turns right at a right angle and continues walking.
• We only need the final direction she is facing, not how far she has travelled.

Concept / Approach:
When a person is facing a cardinal direction, a right turn means rotating 90 degrees clockwise. Starting from south, a right turn leads to west, and another right turn from west leads to north. Tracking only the facing direction at each stage, without worrying about distances, is enough to answer the question correctly.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Initial facing direction: south. First right turn: from south, turning right (clockwise) leads to west. Second right turn: from west, turning right again leads to north. Therefore, after the two right turns, P is facing north.

Verification / Alternative check:
Visualize the four directions in clockwise order: north, east, south, west. Starting at south, a right turn moves to west, and another right turn moves to north. This confirms that two successive right turns from south lead to north. No distances are needed to determine this orientation.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option B: East would be obtained from north by a right turn, not from south by two right turns.
Option C: South is the initial direction, not the final one.
Option D: West is only the intermediate direction after the first right turn.
Option E: None of these is incorrect because North is clearly listed and matches the reasoning.

Common Pitfalls:
A frequent mistake is to imagine turns relative to the page rather than relative to the person orientation, leading to incorrect mapping of right and left. Another error is to consider only one turn instead of both. Drawing a small compass and marking each turn step by step is an effective way to avoid such confusion.

Final Answer:
P is ultimately walking towards the North.
