Question

John walks 250 meters towards north and takes a right turn and walks 200 meters and again takes a right turn and walks for a half a kilometer. What is the total distance he covered?

• A. 0.9 km
• B. 0.85 km
• C. 0.95 km
• D. 0.88 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0.95 km

John walks 250 meters north, takes a right and walks 200 meters and again takes a right and walks for half a kilometer.
Note that 1 km = 1000 m. Thus, half a kilometre is 500 metres.
So, the total distance covered by him = 250 + 200 + 500 = 950 meters.
$\because 1000m=1km\therefore 950m=950\times \frac{1}{1000}km=0.95km$
