Question

rahul walks 2/3km from a place to P towards east and then from there 11/6 towards west.What is his position now from P?

Answer 1

2/3 km = 4/6 km

Each tick on the number line represents 1/6 km. From point P, move 4 ticks to the right (2/3 = 4/6 km east) to point a. From point a, move 11 ticks to the left (11/6 km west) to point b. You are at 4/6 - 11/6 = -7/6, or 7/6 (1 1/6) km west of point P.
