Question 61. Rachel starts walking towards North. After walking 15 m, she turns towards South and walks 20 m. She then turns towards East and walks 10 m. Then, again she walks 5 m towards North. How far is she from her starting point and in which direction?
  1.    10 m, West
  2.    5 m, East
  3.    5 m, North
  4.    10 m, East
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10 m, East
Answer: (d)
Let the initial point of Rachel be 'A'.
Therefore, Required distance, AE = 10 m
So, Rachel is 10 m towards East from the starting point.

  3.    30 m
  4.    10 m
  5.    12 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10 m
Answer: (d)
According to the question, the direction diagram will be as follows. Therefore, Required distance, PT = ST - SP = 50 - 40 = 10 m.
Question 69. Amol travels a distance of 10 ft from A to B. Then, he turns to left and travels 5 ft and again turns to left and travels 2 ft. Finally, he turns to left and moves 5 ft. How far is he now from his original position?

  4.    12 ft
  5.    10 ft
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 6 ft
Answer: (b)
According to the question, the direction diagram is as follows. A = Original position,
E = Final position AB = 10 ft, BC = DE = 5 ft CD = EB = 2 ft
Therefore, Required distance, AE = AB - EB = 10 -2 = 8 ft.
Question 70. Shyam walks 6 m towards East, then turns right and walks 9 m. Again, he turns to his left and walks 6 m. At what distance is he now from his original point?
  1.    15 m
  2.    21 m
  3.    18 m
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 15 m
Answer: (a)
According to the question, the direction diagram is as follows. O is the mid - point of BC and
AD OB = OC = $9/2$ = 4.5 m
OA = $√{(AB)^2 + (OB)^2}= √{(6)^2+ (4.5)^2}$
= $√{(36 + 20.25)} = √{(56.25)}$ = 7.5 m
OD = OA = 7.5
Therefore, Required distance, AD = AO + OD = 7.5 + 7.5 = 15 m.
