Question : Directions: Seeta and Ram both start from a point toward the North. Seeta turns to the left after walking 10 km. Ram turns to the right after walking the same distance. Seeta waits for some time and then walks another 5 km, whereas Ram walks only 3 km. They both then turn to their respective south and walk 15 km forward. How far is Seeta from Ram?
Option 1: 8 km
Option 2: 12 km
Option 3: 15 km
Option 4: 10 km
Correct Answer: 8 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
In the above figure, O is the starting point for both, D is the finishing point for Seeta and E is the finishing point for Ram. So, DE is the distance between Sita and Ram. Here, DE = BC BC = CA + AB = 5 + 3 = 8
So, Sita and Ram are 8 km from each other. Hence, the first option is correct.
