Question : 1

Kunal walks 10 kilometres towards North. From there, he walks 6 kilometres towards South. Then, he walks 3 kilometres towards East. How far and in which direction is he with reference to his starting point?

a) 5 kilometres West

b) 5 kilometres North - East

c) 7 kilometres East

d) 7 Kilometres West

Answer: (b)

The movements of Kunal are as shown in Fig. 9

(A to B, B to C and C to D).

AC = (AB - BC) = (10 - 6) km = 4 km.

Clearly, D is to the North - east of A.

Therefore, Kunal's distance from statrting point A = AD = $√{AC^2 + CD^2}$ = $√{42 + 32}$ = $√25$ = 5 km.

So, Kunal is 5 km to the North - east of his statrting point.

Question : 2

Manick walked 40 metres towards North, took a left turn and walked 20 metres. He again took a left turn and walked 40 metres. How far and in which direction is he from the starting point?

a) 20 metres East

b) 20 metres North

c) 20 metres South

d) 100 metres South

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

The movements of Manick are as shown in Fig. 11

(A to B, B to C and C to D).

Clearly, ABCD is a rectangle and so AD = BC = 20 m.

Thus, D is 20 m to the west of A.

Question : 3

A villager went to meet his uncle in another village situated 5 km away in the North - east direction of his own village. From there he came to meet his father-in-law living in a village situated 4 km in the south of his uncle's village. How far away and in which direction is he now?

a) 3 km in the North

b) 3 km in the East

c) 4 km in the East

d) 4 km in the West

Answer: (b)

The villager moves from his village at O to his uncle's village at A and therafter to his father-in-law's village at B. (Fig. 19)

Clearly, ΔOBA is right - angled at B.

So, $OA^2 = OB^2 + AB^2$

$OB^2 = OA^2 - AB^2$

OB = $√{25 - 16}$ km = $√9$ km = 3 km.

Thus, B is 3 km to the east of his initial position O.

The flat next to F's flat is that of C,

which remains unchanged if the flats of E and A are interchanged.

a) E

b) F
