Direction Reasoning

Answer: (C) South-west

Explanation:

  1. Initial Movement: Deepa starts by moving 75 meters towards the North.
  2. First Turn: She turns left, which means she is now facing West. She walks 25 meters in this direction.
  3. Second Turn: She turns left again. From facing West, a left turn means she is now facing South. She walks 80 meters in this direction.
  4. Final Turn: She turns right at an angle of 45°. From facing South, a right turn of 45° will place her in the South-west direction.
