(b) 4 km

(c) 3 km

(d) 7 km

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

direction-and-distance-verbal-reasoning

The movements of the man are as shown in the figure,

(A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E)

Clearly, DF = BC = 5km.

EF = (DE - DF) = (9 - 5)km = 4km.

BF = CD = 2km

AF =AB + BF = AB + CD = (1 + 2)km = 3km.

∴ Man's distance from initial position A

= AE = $√{AF^2 + FE^2}$

= $√{3^2 + 4^2}$

= $√25$ = 5m.

Jai Prakash started walking towards south from the point A, walked 20 m and reached a point B, Again, he turned left and walked 20 m and reached a point C. Now he turned 45° anticlockwise, walked a distance of 20 √2 m and reached a point D. What approximately is the shortest distance between the point A and D?

a) 30 m

b) 40$√{2}$ m

c) Can't say

d) 40 m

Answer: (d)

direction-and-distance

Here, AC = $√{20^2 + 20^2} = 20$√{2}$ m

Since AB = BC

∴ ∠ACB = ∠BAC = 45°

∴ ∠ACD = 90°

Now,

AD2 = AC2 + CD2

= 800 + 800 = 1600

∴ AD = $√{1600}$ = 40 m
