Starting from point P, Sunil walked 30 m towards South. He turned to his left and walked 40 m. Then, he again turned to his left and walked 30 m. Turning again to his left he walks 15 m and stops there at point N. How far is Sunil from starting point P ?

Solution

Correct Option: 3

South 30 m; then left means East 40 m; then left means North 30 m (returns to P's latitude); then left means West 15 m.

Net displacement from P: North-South = 0; East-West = 40 - 15 = 25 m east.

Distance from P = 25 m.
