Question
Mr. Powar travels 10 km towards west and turns right to travel 4 km. Now he turns right and travels 7 km. In which direction is he now with respect to the starting position?
Solution
Mr. Powar initially travels 10 km west. Then he turns right, which would be north if we consider his initial direction, and travels 4 km. After that, he turns right again, which would now be east, and travels 7 km.
To determine his final direction with respect to his starting position, we need to consider his overall movement.
He initially moved 10 km west, then moved 7 km east. The net west-east movement is 10 km (west) - 7 km (east) = 3 km (west).
He also moved 4 km north.
So, with respect to his starting position, Mr. Powar is in the northwest direction.
