Raju walks 10 m north, then turns right and walks 5 m, then turns right again and walks 10 m. In which direction is he facing?

Raju starts by walking north, so he is facing north.
A right turn from north makes him face east; he walks 5 m east.
Another right turn from east makes him face south; he walks 10 m south.
