Question

Rohit walked 25 meters towards South. Then he turned to his left and walked 20 meters. He then turned to his left and walked 25 meters. He again turned to his right and walked 15 meters. At what distance is he from the starting point and in which direction?

• A. 35 meters, North
• B. 30 meters, South
• C. 35 meters, East
• D. 30 meters, North

Hint:

For direction-based problems, use a coordinate grid to track movement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the movement
- Rohit moves 25m South.
- Turns left, moves 20m East.
- Turns left, moves 25m North (back to initial latitude).
- Turns right, moves 15m East.
Step 2: Finding the final displacement
- Net vertical displacement = \(25 - 25 = 0\).
- Net horizontal displacement = \(20 + 15 = 35\).
- Rohit is 35 meters East from the starting point.
