Question #2
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?
A. Southwest
B. South
C. northeast
D. North

Correct Answer: Option C


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.

Question #3
City Q is at a distance of 12 km to the south of city P. City R is 13 km to the north-west of city Q and west of city P. City S is 24 km to the south of city R. How far is city S from city Q and in which direction from it?
A. 14 km, north-east
B. 15 km, south
C. 13 km, south-west
D. 16 km, north

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let P be (0,0). Q is (0,-12). R is West of P, so R is (x, 0). Distance R to Q is 13. By Pythagoras, x² + (-12)² = 13² -> x² + 144 = 169 -> x² = 25 -> x = -5 (West). So R is at (-5, 0). S is 24km South of R, so S is at (-5, -24). Distance from Q(0,-12) to S(-5,-24) -> Δx = -5, Δy = -12. Distance = √((-5)² + (-12)²) = 13km. S is West and South of Q
