a) 800 m

b) 200$√{2}$ m

c) 400$√{5}$ m

d) 200$√{10}$ m

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

direction-and-distance

Ravi starts from O and finished at C.

OC = $√{OD^2 + CD^2}$ = $√{OD^2 + (DA + AC)^2}$

= $√{(200)^2 + (100 + 500)^2}$ m

= $√{200 × 200 + 600 × 600}$ m

= 100 $√{4 + 36}$ m = 100 $√{40}$ m = 200 $√{10}$ m

[OD = AB = 200 m ; DA = OB = 100 m and AC = 500 m]

A child is looking for his mother. He went 80 meters in the East before turning to his right. He went 20 meters before turning to his right again to trace his mother at his married sister's house, 20 meters from this point. His mother was not there. From there he went 100 meters to his north where he met his mother who was shopping there in the market. How far did the son meet from the starting point?

a) 60 m

b) 140 m

c) 80 m

d) 100 m

Answer: (d)

AE = AB – EB

= 80 – 20 = 60m

EF = DF – DE

= 100 - 20 = 80m

direction-and-distance

Now in Δ AEF,

AF = $√{(AE)^2 + (EF)^2}$

= $√{60^2 + 80^2}$

= $√{3600 + 6400}$ = $√{10000}$ = 100m
