\nfocusing on A’s direction after each command.<\/p>\n

initially:E
\nLeft Turn:North

Thus, distance between them RU = 5 + 5 = 10 km<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Let Ganesh started from point A and travelled south-west for 8 m, then he travelled for 20 m towards east, and again for 8 m towards north-east to reach point D. Then he turned left and travelled west for 6 m, again travelled north-east for 2 m and finally stopped at point H.<\/p>\n
