From a point Shalu starts walking towards North and after walking 20 meters, she turns to her right and walks 10 metres, then she turns right again and walks 20 m. Then, she turns to her left and walks 10 m and finally turns to her left and walks 20 m. In which direction is she with reference to the starting point? Question Description : EastNorth - East South None of these
Solution
Shalu is in the East direction with reference to the starting point. Here's how:
- Shalu starts walking towards North for 20 meters.
- She turns to her right (which would be East) and walks 10 meters.
- She turns right again (which would be South) and walks 20 meters.
- She then turns to her left (which would be East) and walks 10 meters.
- Finally, she turns to her left (which would be North) and walks 20 meters.
At the end of these movements, Shalu is back at the same latitude as her starting point (20 meters North and then 20 meters South) but 10 meters to the East of her starting point. Therefore, she is in the East direction with reference to the starting point.
