Rakesh goes 20 m North, then turns right and walks 25 m, then again turns right and walks 15 m, then again turns right and walks 25 m. How far is he from his original position?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 5 m
Each right turn is taken from the direction he is facing at that moment:
He walks 20 m North.
Facing North, a right turn is East: 25 m East.
Facing East, a right turn is South: 15 m South.
Facing South, a right turn is West: 25 m West, which cancels the 25 m East.
He is left \(20-15=5\) m North of his starting point, so he is 5 m away.
