Question and options

Mr. John walked 10 yards down "X" street. He then turned to the left and walked 10 yards down "Y" street. He again turned to the left and walked 10 yards down "Z" street. Then he turned to the left and walked 15 yards down another street. Then he turned to the left and walked 10 yards down that street. Again he turned to the left and walked 8 yards. Which street was he on?
  1. X street
  2. Y street
  3. Z street
  4. Another street

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Y street
Facing north: X street to (0,10); left on Y street to (-10,10); left on Z street to (-10,0); left 15 to (5,0); left 10 to (5,10); left (west) 8 to (-3,10). That point is on the line y = 10 between x = 0 and x = -10, i.e. Y street.
