Again he turns to the left, walks a distance of 40 metres straight, again he turns to the left and walks a distance of 25 metres. How far is he from the starting point ?
(a) 25 metres (b) 50 metres (c) 115 metres (d) 140 metres (e) None of these
Answer : (e)
Solution : The movements of Deepak are as shown in fig.
Clearly, EB = DC = 40 m.
Deepak,s distance from the starting point A
= (AB - EB)
= (75 - 40) m = 35 m.
Example 2 : Disha moved 4 km in north direction, then turned towards left and moved 2 km straight , again turned toward left and moved 6km straight . In which direction she is standing from the starting point.
