Aakash walks 30 m North. Then he turns right and walks 60 m. Again, he turns right and walks 45 m. How far and in which direction is he now from his initial position?

A

30 m, West

B

`15 sqrt17` m, South-West

C

`40 sqrt3m`, South-West

D

`15 sqrt17m`, South-East

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`AE^(2) = AD^(2) + DE^(2)`
`=60^(2) + 15^(2)= 3825 = (15 sqrt17)^(2)`
`therefore` Required distance, AE= `15 sqrt17 m`
Hence, Aakash is `15 sqrt17m`, South-East of his initial position.
