Manish goes 8 km in the North from his school. Now, turning to the left, he goes 15 km and again turns to the left and goes 8 km. How far he is from his school and in which direction?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 15 km, West from school
Each turn is taken from the direction he is facing at that moment:
He starts by walking 8 km North.
Facing North, a left turn is West; he walks 15 km.
Facing West, a left turn is South; he walks 8 km, which cancels the 8 km he went North.
He ends on the school’s own line, 15 km to its West.
