Detailed Solution & Explanation

1. **Initial Movement**: Pramila is going towards the East. Direction: East.
2. **First Turn**: She turns left. Facing East, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counter-clockwise turn points North. She walks some distance in this direction. Direction: North.
3. **Second Turn**: She turns to her left again. Facing North, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counter-clockwise turn points West. She walks the same distance in this direction. Direction: West.
4. **Third Turn**: Finally, she turns to her right. Facing West, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ clockwise turn points North. Direction: North.

**Note on Typographical Error**: The textbook answer key incorrectly lists Option B (South) as the correct answer. As mathematically and geometrically proven above, she must be going North. Therefore, North (Option A) is the correct answer.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
