Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Suja starts at her house and moves 100 m South. Turning left from South means she faces East and walks 10 m. Then, turning to the North, she walks 40 m. Her final position is 60 m South and 10 m East of her house. To return home, she must walk North (to cover the 60 m South displacement) and West (to cover the 10 m East displacement). Thus, she is walking in the North-West direction.
