Question

For the figure shown,


What will be the position of point $\text{B}$ as observed from point $\text{C}$, given that origin is at $\text{O}$.

• A. $1\text{m}$
• B. $2\text{m}$
• C. $5\text{m}$
• D. $-3\text{m}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2\text{m}$

Position of $\text{B}$ as observed from $\text{C}$ is,

$X_{\text{BC}}=X_{\text{B}}-X_{\text{C}}$

$\because X_B=+5\text{m},X_C=+3\text{m}$

$\therefore X_{\text{BC}}=5-3=2\text{m}$

Hence, option $\left(\text{B}\right)$ is the correct answer.
