Question

Rasik 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 1.5 m. In which direction and how many metres away is he from his original position ?

• A. 15 metres West
• B. 30 metres East
• C. 30 metres West
• D. 45 metres East
• E. None of these

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.
