Question 42

An auto-rickshaw picks a passenger and travels North 6.5 km, then it turns to its left and rides for another 1.5 km, then it turns South and rides for 2.5 km, then it turns to its left and rides 1.5 km. Where is the auto now with respect to its starting position?

Solution

Let the auto-rickshaw picks the passenger at point A and travels North 6.5 km to reach B, then it turns to its left and rides for another 1.5 km westwards, then it turns South and rides for 2.5 km to reach D, then  again it turns to its left and rides 1.5 km to finally stop at point E.

=> AE = $$6.5-2.5=4$$ km

$$\therefore$$ The auto is 4 km north with respect to its starting position.

=> Ans - (C)
