Question : Directions: A man starts from a point, moves 9 km south, then turns east and goes 3 km. He turns south and walks 3 km, and then moves 8 km towards the west. How far is he from the starting point?
Option 1: 15 km
Option 2: 12 km
Option 3: 11 km
Option 4: 13 km
Correct Answer: 13 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions in the question.
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 can be found using Pythagoras theorem. OD2 = OE2 + DE2 OE = OA + AE = 9 + 3 = 12 DE = CD – CE = CD – AB = 8 – 3 = 5 So, OE2 + DE2 = 122 + 52 = 144 + 25 = 169 OD = (169)1/2 = 13
So, the distance from the starting point is 13 km. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
