Question

From a point, Rajneesh started walking East and walked $35$ m. He then turned on his right and walked $20$ m and he again turned right and walked $35$ m. Finally, he turned his left and walked $20$ m and reached his destination. Now, how far is he from the starting point?

• A. $50$ m
• B. $55$ m
• C. $20$ m
• D. $40$ m

Answer 1

The correct option is D $40$ m

Rajneesh walked $35$ m East. He then turned right i.e. facing South walked $20$ m. He again turned right i.e. facing West and moved $35$ m. So, now he is $20$ m far from the starting point.

He then turned left i.e. facing South and moved $20$ m.

So, he is in the same line from where he started and $40$ m far.

Hence, D is the correct option.
