Question : Directions: Ratan walks 15 m towards the north and then turns right and walks 23 m. Then, he turns left and walks 16 m. After that, he turns left and walks 11 m. Then, he turns right and walks 17 m. Then, he turns left and walks 12 m. He finally turns right and walks 19 m. In which direction and how far is he now with reference to the starting point?
Option 1: South, 51 m
Option 2: North, 52 m
Option 3: North, 48 m
Option 4: North, 67 m
Correct Answer: North, 67 m
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
From the above diagram, it is clear that Ratan is in the North direction from his starting point.
Ratan's distance between the starting point and the endpoint = 15 + 16 + 17 + 19 = 67 m
Thus, Ratan is towards the North direction and 67 m away from the starting point. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
