Kailash faces towards the north. Turning to his right, he walks 25 metres. He then turns to his Ieft and walks 30 metres. Next, he moves 25 metres, to his right. He then turns to his right again and walks 55 metres. Finally, he turns to the right and moves 40 metres. In which direction is he now from his starting point?

Answer:

Explanation:

Kailash turns towards right from the north direction. So, he walks 25 m towards the east up to B, turns left and moves 30 m up to C, turns right and goes 25 m up to D. At D, he turns to right towards the 4 south and walks 55 m up to E. Next, he again turns to the right and walks 40 m up to F, which is his final position. F is to the South-east of A. So, he is to the southeast from his starting point. Hence, the answer is (d).
