Correct Answer: South-WestYour Answer: A

Explanation

| Step 2: Reversing North-East gives South-West, and reversing South-East gives North-West. | Step 3: Therefore the requested direction is South-West. | Answer: Option A — South-West.

Important Notes

  • Draw a north arrow before solving and take East as positive x, West as negative x, North as positive y, and South as negative y. |
  • Apply every turn from the person's current facing direction. A right turn changes direction clockwise; a left turn changes it anticlockwise. |
  • Combine opposite movements before calculating distance: cancel East with West and North with South. |
  • Decide the final direction from the signs of the remaining horizontal and vertical displacements. For example, positive x and negative y indicate South-East. |
