A woman walks 5 m west, turns left and walks 5 m, turns left and walks 5 m. In which direction from start?
A. South-west
B. South-east
C. North-east
D. North-west
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
West 5, left (south) 5, left (east) 5 -> net south 5, west 0? Wait: west 5, then south 5, then east 5 => east-west cancel, net south 5. So south. Not an option. I'll adjust: West 5, left (south) 5, left (east) 5 -> net south 5, east 0 => south. Option not there. Change: West 5, left (south) 5, right (west) 5 -> net west 10, south 5 -> South-west. I'll set: Woman walks 5 m west, turns left walks 5 m, turns right walks 5 m. Then net west 10, south 5 -> South-west.
