Question : Directions: Sona goes to a park every day for walking. One morning, she started walking from her home and walked 40 km towards the north. Then she turned to the right and walked 60 km. Again, she turned right and walked 40 km. Lastly, she took a left turn and walked 60 km. What is the direction of the home and how far is she from her home?
Option 1: East, 90 km
Option 2: West, 120 km
Option 3: West, 60 km
Option 4: East, 120 km
Correct Answer: East, 120 km
Solution :
Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the distance from home to the endpoint and the direction of the home with respect to the endpoint.
The distance between home(A) to end point(E) = AD + DE; (AD = CB)
AE = 60 + 60
AE = 120 km
So the distance from home to the endpoint is 120 km and home is in the east direction with respect to the endpoint. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
