Question

An ant struggling for food finds it at the north-east corner of the Cartesian plane. It moves 3 units east from the origin and then 3 units north. Find the location of the food.

• A. (-3,3)
• B. (3,3)
• C. (-3,-3)
• D. (3,-3)

Answer 1

The correct option is B

(3,3)

The ant moves 3 units east i.e. 3 units to the right of origin on the x- axis, so the co-ordinates become (3, 0). Now, it moves 3 units north i.e. 3 units above origin in the y-axis direction and the coordinates become (3, 3). Thus, she reaches the food and hence the location of the food in Cartesian plane would be (3, 3).
