Question

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?

• A. South
• B. North
• C. East
• D. West

Answer 1

Answer:

D. West

• 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
