Question

Ajay walked 2 m towards East, took a right turn and walked 7m. He then took a left turn and walked 5 m before taking a left turn and walking 7 m. He then took a final right turn and walked 1 m before stopping. How far is Ajay from the starting point?

• A. 8 m
• B. 7 m
• C. 6 m
• D. 5 m
• E. 9 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 8 m

Ajay's walking directions are as follows

OA = 2 m
AB = 7m
BC = 5 m
CD = 7 m
DE = 1 m
Required distance (OE) = OA + AD + DE = (2 + 5 + 1) = 8m
