Question Numbers: 15-17

Directions: Study the information given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A person starts from point A and goes towards east direction for 6 km to reach point B and then turns right and goes 4 km to reach point C. From C he turns left and travels 3 km to reach point D and then turns towards north-west direction such that it passes through point B again and goes for 15 km till he reaches point E. From point E he turns towards the south and goes for 12 km to reach point F such that he passes from point A in between. From F he turns right and travels for 3 km to finally reach point G.

Question : 17 of 80

Marks: +1, -0

15 km West
15 km South

Solution:

Concept:

Plot the path on a coordinate plane and track each turn to find the coordinates of every point.

Formula:

Distance between

(x_1,y_1)

and

(x_2,y_2)

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For points on the same horizontal level, distance is

|x_2-x_1|

Solution:

Let

A=(0,0)

East

6

km to

B

B=(6,0)

Right turn means south, so

4

km to

C

C=(6,-4)

Left turn means east, so

3

km to

D

D=(9,-4)

From

D

E

is north-west and passes through

B

, total

15

km.

Here

DB=5

km, so

BE=10

km; hence

E=(0,8)

South

12

km to

F

F=(0,-4)

Right turn means west, so

3

km to

G

G=(-3,-4)

Now

D=(9,-4)

and

G=(-3,-4)

have the same

y

-coordinate.

D

is east of

G

Distance

DG=9-(-3)=12

km.

Answer:

Option C:

12

km East.
