SSC CHSL - 24 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q43

R started walking towards north. During his journey, he turned 7 times right and 5 times left. In which direction he will be facing finally?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Calculating the total number of turns:

7 - 5 = 2 right

Determining direction:

When a person turns right twice (or left twice), they end up in the exact opposite direction of their initial direction.

Initial direction: North

Opposite of north: South

Conclusion

Since R started walking north and is in the same position as having turned right twice, they will now be facing south.

Correct option: 2) South
