Question

From a point, Rajneesh started walking towards east and walked 35 m. He then turned towards his right and walked 20 m and he again turned right and walked 35 m. Finally he turned to his left and walked 20 m and he reached his destination. Now, how far is he from his starting point ?

• A. 55 m
• B. 50 m
• C. 20 m
• D. 40 m

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct option is (D): 40m
Reason: Rajneesh's path forms a rectangle. He walks 35 m east, 20 m south, 35 m west, and 20 m south. The total displacement from the starting point is along the vertical direction, which is 40 m south. Hence, he is 40 m away from his starting point.
