Lihan walks towards South from his office to reach park. Then he takes left and walks to reach traffic signal. Then he turns degree anti-clockwise direction and walks to reach coffee shop, he takes left and walks to reach home. Office is in which direction with respect to Lihan's home?
- AWest
- BSouth
- CNorth
- DEast
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's plot Lihan's path step-by-step using Cartesian coordinates, assuming the office is at the origin :
1. Office to Park: Walks South Park coordinates are .
2. Park to Traffic Signal: Turns left (facing East) and walks Traffic signal coordinates are .
3. Traffic Signal to Coffee Shop: Turns anti-clockwise (facing North) and walks Coffee shop coordinates are .
4. Coffee Shop to Home: Turns left (facing West) and walks Home coordinates are .
Now, determine the direction of the Office relative to Home :
* Home is on the positive x-axis, at a distance of East from the office.
* Therefore, to look at the office from home, one must look towards the West.
