Manoj travelled 14 km southward, then turned right and travelled 12 km, then turned right and travelled 14 km. How far was Manoj from the starting point?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 12 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 14 km South and the 14 km North cancel each other, so Manoj ends 12 km due West of the starting point.
