I walked 5 meters in East and then took a left turn and again walked 5 metres. From there I walked 3 meters towards North. Then I took two consecutive left turns, and walked 3 meters each time. In which direction am I now from the starting point?
Explanation:
Path: 5m East, 5m North (left turn), 3m North = 8m North total. First left turn from North puts me West 3m. Second left turn puts me South 3m. Total East = 5 - 3 = 2m. Total North = 8 - 3 = 5m. Since I am East and North of the start, the direction is North-East.
Raman and Krishnan start moving towards each other from points A and B, 200 m apart from each other. After walking 60 metres, Krishnan takes a left turn and walks 20 metres, then he takes a right turn and walks 40 metres. He again takes a right turn and comes back on the path from where he started. Raman did not turn anywhere while walking. If Raman and Krishnan walk at the same speed, what is the distance between them now?
Explanation:
Krishnan covered a total distance of 60 + 20 + 40 + 20 = 140m. Because they walk at the same speed, Raman also walked 140m straight. Krishnan advanced 60 + 40 = 100m towards Raman's starting point. Raman advanced 140m towards Krishnan's starting point. Distance between them = Total distance (200) - (100 + 140) = |200 - 240| = 40 meters.
I am standing in the middle of a park. I am facing east. My friend Sohan is looking towards south-west. Mohan is facing north-west and Raju is facing north-east. Now each of us turns 90° clockwise. Where is Mohan looking?
