Pradeep starts from his house towards west. After walking a distance of 30 m,…

In a direction-sense problem, every "turn left" or "turn right" rotates the walker's heading by 90 degrees from their CURRENT facing, not from a fixed compass reference, so each turn must be applied in sequence, one on top of the previous heading (a right turn = 90 degrees clockwise, a left turn = 90 degrees counter-clockwise).

1. Starts facing West and walks 30 m (leg AB).

2. Turns right from West, rotating 90 degrees clockwise to North, and walks 20 m (leg BC).

3. Turns left from North, rotating 90 degrees counter-clockwise to West, and walks 10 m (leg CD).

4. Turns left again from West, rotating to South, and walks 40 m (leg DE).

5. Turns left from South, rotating to East, and walks 5 m (leg EF).

6. Turns left one final time from East, rotating to North - this is the heading of the last leg, FG.

As an independent check, add up the net rotation instead of tracking each leg: one right turn (+90 degrees) and four left turns (-90 degrees each) give a net of 90 minus 360 = -270 degrees, which is the same as +90 degrees clockwise overall. Rotating the starting heading (West) by 90 degrees clockwise also lands on North, matching leg FG.

So the direction Pradeep is walking in at the end of the path is North.
