Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Somya starts facing East.
She walks 30m towards her right, which means she moves South.
She takes a left turn (facing East) and walks 40m.
She takes another left turn (facing North) and walks 50m.
Net vertical displacement = 50m (North) - 30m (South) = 20m North.
Net horizontal displacement = 40m East.
Since the final position is to the North and East of the starting point, she is standing in the North-East direction.
