Shahid left for his office in his car. He drove 15 km towards north and then 10 km towards west. He then turned to the south and covered 5 km. Further, he turned to the east and moved 8 km. Finally, he turned right and drove 10 km. How far and in which direction is he from his starting point ?

Options

A. 2 km West
B. 5 km East
C. 6 km South
D. None of these

Answer

A

Explanation

The movements of Shahid are as shown in Fig. i.e. P to Q, Q to R, R to S, S to T and T to U.

P = Starting Point
U = End Point
Clearly, U is to the South-East of P.
Therefore, Khalid is to the South-East from his starting point.
