💡 Analysis & Explanation
Initial Vector Mapping ▼
We plot the origin point. Ravi moves directly upward on the map, facing the absolute North direction.
First Rotational Turn ▼
Standing while facing North, taking a rigid 90-degree right turn pivots his body to face directly East. He walks his 3 km along this axis.
Final Rotational Turn ▼
Now positioned and walking East, taking one more 90-degree right turn pivots his body completely downwards on the map.
Trajectory Verification ▼
Downward movement strictly correlates to the southern compass point regardless of the final distance traveled.
Conclusion ▼
Therefore, his final line of sight is unambiguously oriented towards the South.
