Question 17

Ram walks 3 km towards East and takes a left turn and walks for one km before he turns left and walks 2 km to take another left turn to walk for another one km. How many km is he away from his starting point?

Solution

Let Ram starts from point A and walks 3 km east and reaches B, then he turns left and walks for 1 km towards north and reaches point C.

Then, he turns left and walks for 2 km and finally stops at point E.

Thus, AE = 3 - 2 = 1 km

$\therefore$ $$\therefore$$ Ram is 1 km to the east of his starting point.

=> Ans - (A)
