Question

From a certain point, Smriti walks 70 m towards the south. Then, she turns to her right & starts
walking straight for another 70 m. Then, again turning to her left he walks for 60 m. She then
turns to her left & walks for 70 m. How far is she from the starting point?
1. 120 m
2. 135 m
3. 140 m
4. 130 m

Answer 1

The total distance covered is 70 + 60 = 130m

Smirti is 130 meters far from the starting point.

We are given that:

• Distance covered by smriti towards the south = 70m
• Distance covered in the right direction = 70m
• Distance covered towards left side = 60 m
• Again distance covered in the left direction = 60m

Solution:

If we draw the whole distance covered in every direction then will get the picture below.

From the diagram, it is clear that the total distance covered is 70 + 60 n= 130m

So, the correct answer is 130m.
