RBI Assistant Prelims Memory Based Paper (27 March 2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

South

This question involves understanding directional movements based on a sequence of steps and turns. We need to track Amit's path and determine his facing direction when he arrives at point C.

Tracking Amit's Path

Let's break down Amit's journey step by step:

  • Start at Point A: Amit begins his journey.
  • A to B: He walks 10 m towards the East. After this movement, he is at point B and facing East.
  • Turn at B: Amit takes a right turn. Since he was facing East, a right turn makes him face South.
  • B to C: He walks 10 m after the right turn. This means he walks 10 m towards the South.

Direction at Point C

After completing the movement from point B to point C, Amit is facing the direction he was facing after making the right turn at point B. As established, he turned from East to face South.

Therefore, when Amit reaches point C, he is facing South.

Movement Summary

Here's a summary of Amit's position and facing direction:

Segment Distance Direction of Movement Facing Direction at End of Segment
A to B 10 m East East
Turn at B - Right Turn (from East) South
B to C 10 m South South

The question specifically asks for the direction Amit is facing when he *reaches* point C. This is the direction he was facing after the turn at B, which is South.
