Question

Pravin walked 30 metres towards East, took a right turn and walked 20 metres, again took a right turn and walked 30 metres. How far was he from the starting point?

• A. 30 metres
• B. 80 metres
• C. 50 metres
• D. 20 metres

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

20 metres

Pravin walked $30$ m East and then took a right turn i.e. in South and walked $20$ m and then took another right turn i.e. west and moved $30$ m.

So, he made U turn covering the distance of $30$ m.

Thus, he is in the same line i.e. towards South and $20$ m far from the starting point.

Hence, option 'D' is correct.
