Question : Directions: A paperboy cycles 10 km east, then turns south and cycles 3 km, then turns west and cycles 6 km, then turns to his right and cycles 3 km. Where is he now with reference to his starting position?
Option 1: 4 km west
Option 2: 14 km east
Option 3: 4 km east
Option 4: 14 km west
Correct Answer: 4 km east
Solution :

Now, we have to find distance and the final position with respect to the starting position –
The distance between starting position and end point = 10 – 6 = 4 km
Therefore, the paperboy is in the East direction with respect to his starting position and the distance between his starting point and final point is 4 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
