The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will track Shipra's movements based on the directions she takes, starting from her house which is facing East. 1. **Starting Position**: Shipra's house is facing East. 2. **First Move - Left Turn**: - From East, a left turn means she will now be facing North. 3. **Second Move - Right Turn**: - From North, a right turn means she will now be facing East again. 4. **Third Move - Right Turn**: - From East, another right turn means she will now be facing South. 5. **Fourth Move - Left Turn**: - From South, a left turn means she will now be facing East. 6. **Fifth Move - Right Turn**: - From East, a right turn means she will now be facing South. Now, since Shipra ends up standing in front of her grandmother's house, and she is facing South at that point, it indicates that her grandmother's house is located to the South of her starting position. **Conclusion**: Therefore, her grandmother's home is facing South.
