Aman drives from point A towards the south. He then takes a left turn and drives . He then takes a right turn and drives . He again takes a right turn and drives . He finally takes a right turn and drives to reach point B. How much and in which direction does he have to drive to return to point A? (All the turns are turns only.)

  1. A
    5 km towards the north
  2. B
    5 km towards the west
  3. C
    5 km towards the south
  4. D
    5 km towards the east

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's trace Aman's movement path using a coordinate system, setting starting point A at :
1. **From A **, drives South reaches .
2. Turns left (faces East), drives reaches .
3. Turns right (faces South), drives reaches .
4. Turns right (faces West), drives new X-coordinate . Reaches .
5. Finally turns right (faces North), drives new Y-coordinate . Reaches point B at .

To return from point B to starting point A :

* Horizontal distance .
* Since point A is to the right of point B along the X-axis, Aman must drive towards the East.

Therefore, he needs to drive towards the east.
