Directions (right turns in the morning): Determine the final facing direction after three right turns. Starting condition: One morning, Sujata begins walking toward the Sun (east). She turns right, then right again, walks some distance, and turns right once more. Identify the final facing direction.

Difficulty: Easy

North
South
North-East
South-West

Correct Answer: North

Explanation:

Given data

Morning → Sun in the east
Initial facing = East
Sequence: right → right → right

Concept/Approach
Apply successive 90° right turns from the initial direction.
