Question

Kumar walked 5m towards the North, took a left turn and walked for 10m. He then took a right turn and walked for 20m, and again took a right turn and walked 10m. How far is he from the starting point and in which direction?

• A. 20m North
• B. 15m South
• C. 25m North
• D. 30m South

Hint:

For movement problems, draw the path on paper with arrows for each turn to visualize the final position.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's track Kumar's movement step by step: 1. Starts at point O, walks 5m North to point A. 2. Takes left turn (facing West), walks 10m to point B. 3. Takes right turn (facing North), walks 20m to point C. 4. Takes right turn (facing East), walks 10m to point D. Final position: - East-West position: +10m (West) then -10m (East) = 0m displacement - North-South position: +5m (North) then +20m (North) = 25m North Thus, Kumar is 25m North of the starting point. The correct answer is (3) 25m North.
