Vijay travelled 12 km southward, then turned right and travelled 10 km, then turned right and travelled 12 km. How far was Vijay from the starting point?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 10 km
Each turn is taken from the direction he is facing at that moment:
Facing South, a right turn is West
Facing West, a right turn is North
The 12 km South and the 12 km North cancel each other, so Vijay ends 10 km West of the starting point.
