Answers
Answer:
South (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The directions a man takes while moving
To find: The direction in which he is from his initial position
Solution: The man moves 2 kms towards the East, so he is facing the East now with respect to his initial position.
Now he moves 3 kms towards the South, so he is facing the South now with respect to his initial position.
Then the man moves 2 kms towards the West, so he is facing the West now with respect to his initial position.
Right now, he is just 3 kms below his starting position, that is the South.
After that he moves 2 kms towards the inital point from where he started. We see that he is almost about the close the loop that he started. Currently, he is in the South direction from his initial position.
Answer: South
