Question

A car travelled 60 km towards the north direction from a point A. From there, it travelled 120 km in the south direction. How far is the car from point A now?

• A. 60 km South
• B. 60 km North
• C. 160 km South
• D. 160 km North

Answer 1

The correct option is A

60 km South

Let's assume a car travelling toward North as positive and South as negative.

+60 + (- 120) = - 60. The car is 60 km South from point A.
