Rajeev starts from his house towards the north-east. After walking 50 meters, he turned towards the south-east and walked 50 meters, then he walked 50 metres in the south-west direction. Finally, he turns towards his house. In which direction is he moving?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The three legs of equal length in NE, SE and SW directions form three sides of a square. Starting at the house, the walker ends up one side away, displaced due east of the house. The closing side of the square must therefore be walked in the north-west direction to return home.
