Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: This problem is based on direction sense where movements are determined by successive right and left turns. Step 1:Initial direction.
\[ \text{North-East} \]
Step 2:First right turn.
\[ \text{North-East} \rightarrow \text{South-East} \]
Step 3:Second right turn.
\[ \text{South-East} \rightarrow \text{South-West} \]
Step 4:Third right turn.
\[ \text{South-West} \rightarrow \text{North-West} \]
Step 5:Fourth right turn.
\[ \text{North-West} \rightarrow \text{North-East} \]
Step 6:Final left turn.
\[ \text{North-East} \rightarrow \text{North-West} \]
Final Answer: North-West
