Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

South

Solution :

The correct option is South.

Let us track Vani's movement step-by-step starting from point A:

1. Start at Point A: Assume point A is the starting reference position.
2. First Drive (West): Vani drives 6 km towards the West.
3. First Turn (Left): Facing West, taking a left turn means she now faces South. She drives 8 km in this direction.
4. Second Turn (Left): Facing South, taking another left turn means she now faces East. She drives 6 km to reach point B.

Determining Direction of Point B from Point A:
• In the East-West direction: She moved 6 km West and then 6 km East, returning to the original East-West alignment of point A.
• In the North-South direction: She moved 8 km South from point A.

Therefore, point B is located directly to the South with respect to point A.
