Amit traveled 15 km in a car, then took a left turn and traveled 5 km, then took a left turn and traveled 15 km. If he is now facing east, how far is he now from the starting point?
A. 20 km
B. 30 km
C. 5 km
D. 35 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
If two left turns (180° rotation) put him facing East, he must have started facing West. Path: 15km West, 5km South (left turn), 15km East (left turn). His final position is exactly 5km South of his starting point.
Explanation:
Start facing north. Right 90° -> east, walk 10 m east. Left 90° -> north, walk 5 m north. So position: 10 m east, 5 m north -> North-east.
