Answer 2

Answer:

The car is at 30km distance from Delhi towards west.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a has car travelled east of Delhi by 100km

And then to the west of it by 130km.

As east and west are opposite directions, the car has travelled back 130km.

If we see the problem on number line, starting from Delhi at 0, the car headed 100km towards East in positive direction, i.e.,100 km.

And from there the car towards turned towards west, this can be taken as negative value, i.e.,-130 km.

Therefore, the extra distance the car has travelled along west direction is

$100-130=-30km$

Negative sign is along west, hence we can say that the car is finally 30km away from Delhi towards west.
