Prem walks 13 metres towards north. He turns right and walks 11 metres. He rotates by 90 degrees in anti-clockwise direction and walks 11 metres. He again rotates by 90 degrees in anti-clockwise direction and walks 4 metres. How far and in which direction is his starting point from the finishing point?
  • A25 metres, South-west
  • B33 metres, North-east
  • C25 metres, North-east
  • D33 metres, South-west
Correct answer: A

Explanation

Prem goes 13 m N, 11 m E, 11 m N, then 4 m W: net 24 m north and 7 m east, so distance = √(24²+7²) = 25 m. The start is therefore South-west of the finish.
