Answer 2

Answer:

He is 16 km far from his house .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

• Man walks 16 Km towards North
• Take a left and walks 8 Km
• Take a left and walks 32 Km
• Again take a left and walks 8 Km

To find :

• Distance between starting and ending position

Solution :

• Let , the man starts walking towards North from point A.
• After travelling 16 km, he reaches to point B.
• At point B, he takes a left. Since the man is facing towards North, West direction is his left.
• From B, it walks 8 km in West and reaches point C.
• Now, at point C he took a left. Since he is facing West direction, his left is South.
• From C walking 32 Km towards South, he reaches point D.
• At point D, he took a left. Now he is facing South, his left is East.
• From D he walks 8 Km again towards East and reaches point E.
• Since, E and A are in same line. Distance between starting and ending point is AE.
• AE = (32 - 16) km = 16 km.
• Hence, he is 16 km away from starting point in South direction.
