Question

Starting from a point 'S', Mahesh walked $25$ m towards South. He turned to his left and walked $50$ m. He then again turned to his left and walked $25$ m. He again turned to his left and walked $60$ m and reached a point T. How far Mahesh is from Point 'S' and in which direction?

• A. $10$ m, West
• B. $25$ m, North
• C. $10$ m, East
• D. $25$ m, West

Answer 1

The correct option is A $10$ m, West

Mahesh walked 25 m South and took a left turn i.e. East and walks 50 m.

He again takes left turn thus moving north and walks 25 m and he again takes a left turn thus moving west and walks 60 m crossing the starting point.

After crossing the starting point, he walks 10 m more.
Hence, Mahesh is 10 m away from his original position and walked towards West.
