Question

Rasik walks $20$m North. Then, he turns right and walks $30$m. He again, 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. $15$ metres West
• B. $30$ metres East
• C. $30$ metres West
• D. $45$ metres East

Answer 1

The correct option is D $45$ metres East

The movements of Rasik from A to F are as shown in figure.
Since CD = AB + EF, so F lies in line with A.
Rasik's distance from original position A = AF
= (AG + GF) = (BC + DE) = ( $30$ + $15$ ) m = $45$ m.
Also, F lies to the east of A (as seen from the image)

option D
