A boy facing east turns to his right and walks 20 metres. Then he turns to his left and walks 15 metres. After this he walks 25 meters while facing west. He then turns to his right and walks 20 metres. At what distance is he now from his initial position?
Explanation:
He turns right (facing South) and walks 20 m. Turns left (facing East) and walks 15 m. Faces West and walks 25 m, making him 10 m West of his starting longitude (15 - 25 = -10). He turns right (North) and walks 20 m, returning to his starting latitude. He is 10 m West of the start.
Mohan walks 5 m towards East and then turns to his right, walks 4 m and then again turns to his right and walks 5 m. Now he takes a left turn and walks 20 metres. He again takes a right turn and walks an additional 20 meters to reach the theatre. In which direction is the theater with respect to Mohan's starting point?
Explanation:
Path: 5m East, 4m South (right), 5m West (right). He is now 4m South of start. Then he turns left (South) for 20m (total 24m South), then right (West) for 20m. Final position is 20m West and 24m South of the starting point, which is South-West.
