Question : Directions: Dinesh travels from point A, 8 km eastward towards B, turns right and walks 12 km to C, turns again right and walks 4 km to point D, again turns right and travels 8 km to E. From E, he turns left and walks to F, 4 km. Now how far is he from his starting point?
Option 1: 4 km
Option 2: 6 km
Option 3: 8 km
Option 4: 12 km
Correct Answer: 4 km
Solution :
Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the distance between the starting point and the endpoint.
In the given figure, A is the starting point and F is the finishing point. So, AF is the distance from the starting point.
Here, CD = HE = 4 km, DE = CH = 8 km
Now, BH = BC – CH
BH = 12 – 8 = 4 km
And, AF = BH = 4 km
So, the distance from the starting point is 4 km. Hence, the first option is correct.
