Question

A point A is placed at a distance of 7 m from the origin, another point B is placed at a distance of 10 m from the origin. What is the relative position of B with respect to A if they are kept in same line?

• A. 3 m from A
• B. 4 m from A
• C. -3 m from A
• D. 5 m from A

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3 m from A

Given,
The relative position of A with respect to origin = 7 m
The relative position of B with respect to origin = 10 m
Thus,
The relative position of B with respect to A=Relative position of B with respect to origin - Relative position of A with respect to the origin
=10 m - 7 m
=3 m

Hence, option A is correct.
