The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will track Kirti's movements and calculate her final distance from the original position. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Starting Point (S)**: Kirti starts at point S (0,0). 2. **First Movement**: Kirti walks 30 meters towards North. - New position after this movement: - Coordinates: (0, 30) 3. **Second Movement**: She then turns left (towards West) and walks 50 meters. - New position after this movement: - Coordinates: (-50, 30) 4. **Third Movement**: She again turns left (towards South) and walks 30 meters. - New position after this movement: - Coordinates: (-50, 0) 5. **Fourth Movement**: She moves 10 meters after turning to the right (which is towards West). - New position after this movement: - Coordinates: (-60, 0) 6. **Calculating Distance from Original Position**: - The original position (S) is at (0,0) and her final position (P) is at (-60, 0). - The distance can be calculated using the formula for distance between two points: \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] - Here, \( (x_1, y_1) = (0, 0) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (-60, 0) \): \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(-60 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(-60)^2} = 60 \text{ meters} \] ### Final Answer: Kirti is 60 meters away from her original position. ---
