Rajnikant left his home for office in car. He drove 15 km straight towards North and then turned eastwards and covered 8 km. He then turned to left and covered 1 km. He again turned left and drove for 20 km and reached office. How far and in what direction is his office from the home? (a)21 km West (b)15 km North - East (c)20 km North - West (d)26 km North - West

Answer!

Answer is: C
In triangle AFE,
AE = √(AF² + EF²)
AE = √[(AB + BF)² + (ED - FD)²]
AE = √(16² + 12²) = √(256+144) = √400 = 20 km
So, his office is 20 km North - West

14.	Ram goes 15 m North, then turns right and walks 20 m, then again turns right and walks 10 m, then again turns right and walks 20 m. How far is he from his original position? (a)5 m (b)10 m (c)15 m (d)20 m

Answer!

15.	Ram and Ravi start walking in opposite directions. Ram covers 6 km and Ravi 8 km. Then, Ram turns right and walks 8 km and Ravi turns left and walks 6 km. How far everyone in from their starting point? (a)11 km (b)8 km (c)9 km (d)10 km

Answer!

Answer is: D
From above figure, we can see that both are standing equal distance from starting point.
So, required distance = √(8² + 6²)
= √(64 + 36) = √100 = 10 km
Hence, everyone is 10 km far from their starting point.

16.	Pooja starting from a fixed point goes 15 m towards North and then after turning to his right, he goes 15 m. Then, he goes 10, 15 and 15 after turning to his left each time. How far is he from his starting point? (a)15 m (b)5 m (c)10 m (d)20 m

Answer!

Answer is: C
From figure, A is the starting point and F is the ending point of Pooja.
So, AE = AB + BE
AE = 15 + 10 = 25 m
Now, AF = AE – EF = 25 – 15 = 10 m
Hence, Pooja is 10 m far from his starting point.
