Sam is facing east and moves 5 km forward. After reaching 5 km, he turns left side two times. Which side is he facing now?

ASouth

BNorth

CEast

DWest

Answer:

D. West

Read Explanation:

  • Correct Answer : Option D (West)

  • Sam starts by facing East and walks 5 km forward.

  • Now, he turns left two times:

    • 1st Left Turn: Facing East → turns left → now facing North

    • 2nd Left Turn: Facing North → turns left → now facing West

  • Therefore, after two left turns, Sam is facing West.

  • 📌 Important Related Facts about Directions:

    1. Basic Direction Rule:

      • Turning Left (Anti-clockwise): East → North → West → South → East

      • Turning Right (Clockwise): East → South → West → North → East

    2. Key Direction Facts:

      • Two left turns = facing the opposite direction if started facing East → West ✅

      • Two right turns = also facing the opposite direction

      • Four turns (left or right) = back to the original direction

      • One complete turn (180°) = opposite direction

    3. Opposite Directions:

      • North ↔ South

      • East ↔ West
