Question : Directions: Mohan is at the railway station of a certain district. He wants to reach the nearest bus stand. He walked 120 m towards the east, took a right turn, and walked another 100 m. He then took a left turn and walked 30 m. Again, he took a left turn and walked 140 m, where he met his friend and had a conversation. From there, he finally took a left turn and walked 150 m to reach the bus stand. How far and in which direction is the bus stand from the railway station?
Option 1: 40 m, East
Option 2: 40 m, South
Option 3: 140 m, North
Option 4: 40 m, North
Correct Answer: 40 m, North
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Here, A is the starting point (Railway station) and F is the endpoint (Bus stand).
The distance between the railway station and the bus stand is AF.
AF = DE – BC = 140 – 100 = 40
So, the Bus stand is 40 m north of the railway station. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
