Tom left for his office in his car. He travelled 5 km towards the North and then 10 km towards the East. He then travelled 3 km towards the South. Further, he turned to the West and travelled 2 km. Finally, he turned towards the South and travelled 2 km. In which direction is he from his house and what is the distance?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
As we know, QB = OA
QB = QC - BC
= 10 Km - 2 Km [QC = ED]
= 8 Km [QC = 10 Km]
Therefore, OA = 8 Km
(8 Km East direction)
