Question 67

A man cycles 7 km East, then turns South and cycles 12 km, then turns West and cycles 7 km, then turns to his left and cycles 10 km. Where is he now with reference to his starting position?

Solution

Let the man starts from point A, then he travels east for 7 km and reaches B. He then turns south and travels for 12 km and reaches C.

After that, he cycles west for 7 km and finally reaches point E.

Thus, AE = 12 + 10 = 22 km

$$\therefore$$ The man is 22 km to the south of his initial position.

=> Ans - (A)
