It then turns West and goes 6 kms, then turns North and goes 6 km, finally it turns left and goes 2 km\u00a0to reach the end point. Where is the end point with reference to the start point?<\/p>\n a)\u00a04 km to the West of the starting point.<\/p>\n b)\u00a08 km to the West of the starting point<\/p>\n c)\u00a08 km to the East of the starting point.<\/p>\n d)\u00a04 km to the East of the starting point<\/p>\n 20)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b> Distance between starting point to end point = 6 + 2 = 8 km
\nThen the stops along the journey made by the boy are:
\n(0,-10) –> (-10,-10) –> (-10,0) –> (-20,0) –> (-15,0)
\nHence, the distance between house aand the boy is 15 m<\/p>\n
\nThe end point is (0,6)
\nHence, it is to the north of the starting point.<\/p>\n
\nThe journey stops at (3,4) finally.
\nDistance between starting and ending points = 5 km.<\/p>\n
\nJust before starting journey towards house again, Kiran is at point (20, -20)
\nThis is in the fourth quadrant.
\nHence, from (20, -20) the house at (0,0) lies in the north west direction.<\/p>\n
\nThen she turns right and hence, walks 50 meters North.
\nThen, again when she turns left, she is facing west again and thus ends up facing West when she stops walking after 25 meters<\/p>\n

\n$\\therefore$ The correct answer is option A.<\/p>\n
\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/screenshot.18_4etRYoh.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nSo, B is the 12 m to the east of A.
\n$\\therefore$ The correct answer is option C.<\/p>\n
\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/screenshot.19_qT741Rq.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nSo, Start point is 8 km to the west of the starting point.
\n$\\therefore$ The correct answer is option B.<\/p>\n
