Facing towards North, Ravi walks 30 m. He then turns left and walks 50 m. He again turns left and walks 30 m. How far is he from his original position and towards which direction?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 50 m, West
Each turn is taken from the direction he is facing at that moment:
He walks 30 m North.
Facing North, a left turn is West: 50 m West.
Facing West, a left turn is South: 30 m South, which cancels the first 30 m North.
Only the 50 m West remains, so he is 50 m West of his starting point.
