Question

Arun walks ⅓ km from a place A towards east and then from there 1⅔ km towards west. Where

will he be now from A.

please give me answer please ​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Let us denote the distance travelled towards east by positive sign so thus distance of Arun from the point A would be :

$\implies\sf{\dfrac{1}{3}+( - 1\dfrac{2}{3})= \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{ - 6}{3} = \dfrac{ - 5}{3} }$

$\sf{ \therefore \:Since \: it \: is \: negative \: it \: means \:Arun \: is \: at} \\\sf a \: distance \: \frac{5}{3} \:km \: towards \: west \: of \:A.$
