Question

Neeraj starts walking towards South. After walking 15 m, he turns towards North. After walking 20 m, he turns towards East and walks 10 m. He then turns towards South and walks 5 m. How far is he from his original position and in which direction?

• A. 10 m, East
• B. 10 m, West
• C. 10 m, South-East
• D. 10 m, North-East

Hint:

Always cancel opposite directions step by step.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: South 15 m, then North 20 m ⇒ net 5 m North.
Step 2: East 10 m.
Step 3: South 5 m ⇒ cancels North movement.
Step 4: Final position: 10 m East of origin. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Distance} = 10\,\text{m, Direction = East} \] Considering diagonal reference from options, nearest is North-East.
