Question Numbers: 15-17

Directions: Study the information given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A person starts from point A and goes towards east direction for 6 km to reach point B and then turns right and goes 4 km to reach point C. From C he turns left and travels 3 km to reach point D and then turns towards north-west direction such that it passes through point B again and goes for 15 km till he reaches point E. From point E he turns towards the south and goes for 12 km to reach point F such that he passes from point A in between. From F he turns right and travels for 3 km to finally reach point G.

Solution:

Concept:

Direction questions are solved by fixing coordinates and tracking every turn.

Formula:

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Right turn from east = south; left turn from south = east.

Solution:

Let

A=(0,0)

East

6

km:

B=(6,0)

Right turn, south

4

km:

C=(6,-4)

Left turn, east

3

km:

D=(9,-4)

From

D

, the north-west line passes through

B

DB=\sqrt{(9-6)^2+(-4-0)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=5

km.

Given

DE=15

km, so

BE=15-5=10

km.

Moving north-west from

B

10

km gives

E=(0,8)

From

E

, south

12

km:

F=(0,-4)

From

F

, right turn means west

3

km:

G=(-3,-4)

Vector from

B

G

(-9,-4)

, which is west and south.

G

is south-west of

B

Answer:

A. South-West
