Answers
Answer:
(d) South-East
Step-by-step explanation:
At the starting point, Kailash is facing towards the North, on turning to his right he is then facing towards the East before moving 23m.
When he turns to his left, he faces towards the North and moves 30m.
On turning to his right, he then faces towards the East before walking 25m.
When he turns to his right again , he is then facing towards the South and walks 55m.
Finally, on turning to his right he is then facing towards the West before walking another 40m.
When we connect the starting point to the end point, his path forms a combination of two shapes,
A trapezium with lengths 40m and 58m and width 25m
A rectangle of length 30m and width 25m
The end point is in the South East direction from the staring point.
