A person walks in such a way that he covers equal distance in each step. The person takes 2 steps forward towards east, then takes a right turn and walks 4 steps towards south, then takes a right turn and walks 6 steps towards west and then takes a'right turn and walks further. The direction of his final position after a total of 20 steps walk with respect to his initial position is
- A North-West
- B \(60^{\circ}\) West of South
- C \(60^{\circ}\) South of West
- D South-East
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) North-West
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let us assume the person start from position \(\mathrm{A}\) and ends at position B. The direction of B wrt. A is North west.
