Question 42

Two motorcyclists P and Q start from the same point. P rides 11 km West, then turns South and rides 16 km, then turns to his right and rides 14 km. Q rides 30 km South, then turns to his right and rides 25 km. Where is Q with respect to P now?

Solution

Let both P and Q start from point S. The path of P is represented by black colour and Q's path by blue.

P rides 11 km west and reaches T, and then rides 16 km towards south till point U and finally stops at point V.

Similarly, Q rides 30 km south and reaches R and finally stops at point W after travelling 25 km towards west.

Thus, VW = 30 - 16 = 14 km

$$\therefore$$ Q is 14 km to the south of P.

=> Ans - (B)
