Question

A pilot takes off from an airport at ${15}^o$S latitude and flies ${55}^o$ due North. What latitude the pilot has reached?

• A. ${55}^o$N
• B. ${40}^o$N
• C. ${70}^o$N
• D. ${15}^o$N

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${40}^o$N

A pilot takes off from an airport at ${15}^{o}S$ latitude and flies $55$ degree due North. In course of this journey it crosses the equator at $0$ degree after travelling $15$ due north. Therefore it has traveled $40$ due North further from equator.

The pilot reached ${40}^{o}N$ .
