Question : Directions: Ram walks 3 km towards the east, takes a left turn, and walks for 1 km before he turns left and walks 2 km to take another left turn to walk for another 1 km. How many km is he away from his starting point?
Option 1: 1 km
Option 2: 2 km
Option 3: 3 km
Option 4: 4 km
Correct Answer: 1 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
In the above figure, O is the starting point and D is the finishing point. So, OD is the distance from the starting point.
OD = OA – AD
And, AD = BC = 2 km
Therefore, OD = 3 – 2 = 1 km
So, Ram is 1 km away from his starting point. Hence, the first option is correct.
