Question 17

A woman in a shopping complex walks 250 m East, then she turns North and walks 100 m, then she turns West and walks 120 m, then she turns to her left and walks 100 m. Where is she now with reference to her starting position?

Solution

Let the woman starts from point A. She walks 250 m east and reaches B, then she turns north and walks for 100 m and reaches point C.

Then, she turns left and walks for 120 m and finally stops at point E.

Thus, AE = 250 - 120 = 130 m

$$\therefore$$ The woman is 130 m to the east of her starting point.

=> Ans - (A)
