Correct Answer

✅ Option c — North-West

All Options:

  • ANorth-East
  • BSouth-West
  • CNorth-West
  • DSouth-East

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at X(0,0)\displaystyle X(0, 0) facing East.
1. East 5\displaystyle 5 km →(5,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow (5, 0).
2. Turn left, walk 2\displaystyle 2 km →(5,2)\displaystyle \rightarrow (5, 2) facing North.
3. Turn left, walk 7\displaystyle 7 km →(−2,2)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-2, 2) facing West.
Final position (−2,2)\displaystyle (-2, 2) is North-West.
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option D (South-East), but the correct direction is North-West (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
