JKSSB Sub Inspector of Police (JKPSI) 2022 — Q57 Solved Answer with Explanation

Question

Hitesh started walking from his home. First, he walked straight from his home and took a left turn. He then walked for some more distance and took a right turn. Again, he walked some distance and took a left turn. If he is facing the North direction at the end, then in which direction did he start walking initially?

1. A. East (Correct answer)
2. B. West
3. C. North
4. D. South

Correct Answer

Option A — East

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Tracing Hitesh's path in reverse to find his starting direction: He ends facing North after his last left turn. Before the last left turn, he was facing East (a left turn from East gives North). Before the right turn, he was also facing East (a right turn from East keeps East unchanged here). Before the first left turn from his initial direction, a left gives North implies he was facing East. Starting direction: East.
