Question 81. Two houses start from the opposite points of a main road, 150 km apart. The first bus runs for 25 km and takes a right turn and then runs for 14 km. It then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 35 km along the main road. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point?
  1.    65 km
  2.    75 km
  3.    80 km
  4.    85 km
  5.    90 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 65 km
Answer: (a)
Let X and Y be two buses. Bus X travels along the path PA, AB, BC, CD
Now, AD = BC = 25 km. So, PD = PA + AD = 50 km. Bus Y travels 35 km up to E.
Therefore, Distance between two buses = PQ - (PD + QE)
= [150 - (50 + 35)] km = 65 km.
Question 82. Rana travels 10km North, turns left and travels 4 km and then again turns right and covers another 5 km. He then turns to right – hand side and travels another 4 km. How far is he from the point of starting of his journey?
  1.    4 km
  2.    10 km
  3.    5 km
  4.    15 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 15 km
Answer: (d)Required distance
= (10+5) km = 15 Km
Question 83. Mohan travelled westward 5 kms., turned left and travelled 3 kms., turned right and travelled 9 kms. He then travelled north 3 kms. How far he is from the starting point ?
  1.    3 kms.
  2.    14 kms
  3.    5 kms.
  4.    6 kms.
 Discuss Question

Question 84. Kailash walks 3 kms to East and turns South and walks 4 kms. Again turns West and walks 6 kms. How far is he from the starting point?
  1.    7 kms
  2.    5 kms
  3.    6 kms
  4.    3 kms
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5 kms
Answer: (b)Required distance
AD = $√{AE^2 + DE^2}$
= $√{4^2 + 3^2}$
= $√{16 + 9}$
= $√{25}$
= 5 km
Question 85. A man starts from a point and moves 9 km South and then turns to East and goes 3 km. He turns South and walks 3 km and then moves 8 km towards West. How far is he from the starting point ?
  1.    12 km
  2.    13 km
  3.    15 km
  4.    11 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 13 km
Answer: (b)Required distance
AE = $√{AF^2 + EF^2}$
= $√{12^2 + 5^2}$
= $√{144 + 25}$
= $√{169}$
= 13 km
Question 86. M starts from his office and goes 15 km southwards, he then proceeds 5 km to the right. He then travels 7 km to the left, again travels 7 km to the left and eventually goes 22 km towards left. Measure the distance between the final and starting point.
