Question:

Sunit is going towards north, after going 8 km he turns left and goes 6 km. What is the distance of Sunit from initial point.

Options:

14 km

10 km

8 km

6 km

Correct Answer:

10 km

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: 10 km

Sunit first travels 8 km towards north.
Then he turns left, which means he moves west, and travels 6 km.

This forms a right-angled triangle with sides:

  • 8 km (north)

  • 6 km (west)

Using Pythagoras theorem:

Distance from starting point
= √(8² + 6²)
= √(64 + 36)
= √100
= 10 km

Therefore, the correct answer is 10 km.
