A goods carrier travels 23 km East, then it turns North and travels 15 km, then it turns West and Travels 38 km, then it turns to its left and travels 15 km. Where is it now with reference to its starting position?
Let the goods carrier starts from point S and travels 23 km East to T, then it turns North and travels 15 km to reach U, then it turns West and travels 38 km to reach V, again it turns to its left and travels 15 km southwards to finally stop at point W.
=> WS = $$38-23=15$$ km
$$\therefore$$ Now it is 15 km west with reference to its starting position.
=> Ans - (D)
