Ratan walks 15 m towards the north and then turns right and walks 23m. Then, he turns left and walks 16 m. After that, he turns left and walks 11m. then, he turns right and walks 17m. Then, he turns left and walks 12m. He finally turns right and walks 19m. In which direction and how far is he now with reference to the starting point?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. North, 67 m.
Using the above information we can draw the following diagram:
From the figure; Ratan starts from O and ends at G. Thus, he is moving in the North direction and he is 67m from the reference point.
OG = OA + AF + FG = OA + (BC + DE) + FG = 15 + 16 + 17 + 19 = 67m
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
