Question

Michael walks 20 m North. Then he turns right and walks 30 m. Then he turns right and walks 35 m. Then he turns left and walks 15 m. Then he again turns left and walks 15 m. In which direction and how many meters away is he from his original position?

• A. 15 m west
• B. 30 m east
• C. 30 m west
• D. 45 m east

Answer 1

The correct option is D 45 m east

The movement of Michael form A to F are as shown in Fig.



Since CD = AB + EF, So F lies in line with A

$\therefore$ Michael's distance form original position A

$=AF=(AG+GF)$

$=(BC+DE)$

$=(30+15)=45m.$

Also, F lies to the east of A
