Question

A submarine after travelling 100 KM from the Shore, descended 11/10 KM below the sea level. Then it ascended about 3/5 KM. The next day, it again descended by 9/10 KM. What is its current position with respect to sea level? What is the horizontal distance of submarine from the sea shore?

Solution

The submarine descended by 1.1 km
then it ascended by 0.6 km
then again it descended by 0.9 km
so the position of the submarine-
= 0 -1.1 + 0.6 - 0.9
= -1.4km
so the submarine is 1.4 km below the sea level
and the horizontal distance of submarine from the sea shore remains the same as 100KM
