Question

A river flows west to east and on the way turns left and go in a semi-circle round a hillock, and then turns left at right-angles. In what direction is the river finally flowing?
A. North
B. South
C. East
D. West

Answer 1

Answer:

The final direction of the river will be D. West

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1

The river is going from west to east.

step-2

The river takes a left turn, hence the direction now is north.

step-3

The river goes in a semi circle, hence the direction now will remain the same i.e. north.

step-4

Again the river takes a left at right angle, Hence the direction now will be west.

Hence, The final direction of the river will be D. West

Answer 2

The river is going from west to east and turns left.

So, now the river flows towards north.

Now, it flows in a semi circle, so the direction does not change.

The river flows towards north only.

At right angle, the river turns left.

So, the direction is west now.

Hence, the final direction towards which the river flows is WEST.

The correct option is D. WEST
