Answer 2

Given: Sohan walked 20m towards east. He turned to his left and walked 30m. He again turned towards his left and walked 20m.

To find: How far and in which direction is he now from his starting position

Solution: Given that,

Sohan walked 20m towards east. He turned to his left and walked 30m. He again turned towards his left and walked 20m.

• Sohan walked 20m towards east. It means he was facing east direction.
• He turned to his left i.e., north direction (Since, he was facing east direction till last point, on turning left, he is now walking towards north) and walked 30m.
• He turned left again i.e., towards west direction and walked 20m.

Now, the shortest distance between his initial and final position is 30m.

If compared to his starting point, he is in the north direction from initial point.

Hence, he is 30m far towards north direction from his starting point.
