Sahil walks 5 km towards north from a fixed point. Then he turns right and walks 3 km. After this he turns right and walks 5 km. Finally he turns left and walks 4 km. Now in which direction and at what distance is he from the fixed position?
Explanation:
Sahil goes 5 km North, then 3 km East, then 5 km South (back to the original horizontal line), and finally 4 km East. Total distance from the start is 3 km + 4 km = 7 km. He is to the East of his starting point.
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.
