A hiker walks 2 km South, then he turns West and walks for 4 km, then he turns North and walks for 5 km, then he turns to his right and walks for 4 km. Where is he now with respect to his starting position?
Let the hiker starts from point A and walks 2 km South to reach B, then he turns West and walks for 4 km, then he turns North and walks for 5 km to point D, then he turns to his right and walks for 4 km to finally stop at E.
=> AE = $$5-2=3$$ km
$$\therefore$$ Now he is 3 km north with respect to his starting position.
=> Ans - (B)
