Question 17

A plane flies 100 km West, then it turns South and flies 150 km, then it turns West and flies 300 km, then it turns to its right and flies 150 km. Where is it now with reference to its starting position?

Solution

Let the plane starts from point A and travels west for 100 km and reaches B, then it turns South and reaches C after travelling 150 km. Then again it turns west for 300 km and finally reaches point E.

Thus, AE = 100 + 300 = 400 km

$$\therefore$$ The plane is 400 km to the west of its initial position.

=> Ans - (C)
