Question : Directions: Ajit, starting from a fixed point, goes 10 m towards the north, and then after turning to his right, he goes 10 m. then he goes 5, 10, and 10 metres after turning to his left each time. How far is he from his starting point?
Option 1: 15 m
Option 2: 10 m
Option 3: 5 m
Option 4: 3 m
Correct Answer: 5 m
Solution :
Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the distance between the starting point and the endpoint.
In the figure, A is the starting point and F is the finishing point. So, AF is the distance from the starting point.
Here, AB = 10 m, BE = CD = 5 m, EF = 10 m
Now, AF = AB + BE – EF
AF = 10 + 5 – 10
AF = 5 m
So, the distance from the starting point is 5 m. Hence, the third option is correct.
