Correct Answer

✅ Option c — North

All Options:

  • AEast
  • BWest
  • CNorth
  • DSouth

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0) facing East.
1. Turn left, walk 10\displaystyle 10 m →(0,10)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 10) facing North.
2. Turn right, walk 5\displaystyle 5 m →(5,10)\displaystyle \rightarrow (5, 10) facing East.
3. Walk 5\displaystyle 5 m South →(5,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (5, 5) facing South.
4. Walk 5\displaystyle 5 m West →(0,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 5) facing West.
Displacement from start is (0,5)\displaystyle (0, 5), which is due North.
*Discrepancy*: The textbook key lists Option B (West), but the correct direction is North (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
