Question

A railway engine starts shunting wagons by going 1200m north of the Railway Station. Then it again moves 850m north. Finally after pulling a wagon 1000m south, the engine driver takes rest. How far is the engine from the station? Is it to the station's north or south?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1050m north

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the position of the train be = x

Let the train moves in north be = positive Let the train moves in south be =negative

First the train moves to north = 1200m

Second the train moves to North =850m

Third the train moves in South =(-1000)m

A/q

X = 1200 + 850 - 1000

X = 1050

Therefore, the train`s current position is 1050 meters in North direction
