An ant starts from point 'O' moving 50m ...

An ant starts from point 'O' moving 50m due east, then 50m `30^(@)` south of east, then 50m `30^(@)` of south of that direction and to continue to move 50m deviating in same sence by `30^(@)` each time until it returns to its original position. Total distance travelled by ant to reach initital point 'O' is :

A

`400m`

B

`500m`

C

`600m`

D

`700m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
An ant ………….

No.of vectors added `= (360^(@))/(30^(@)) = 12`
Each of length 50m
Total length `= 50xx12 = 600m`
