Ravi starts from Point Y and drives 28 km towards West. He then takes a right turn, drives 55 kms, turns left, drives 69 km, turns left and drives 76 km. He then takes a left turn and drives 35 km. He takes a left turn, drives 21 km to stop at Point Z. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point Y again? (All turns are 90 degrees turns only unless specified)

Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Let Y be the origin .
- Drives 28 km West: Current position .
- Right turn, drives 55 km (North): Current position .
- Left turn, drives 69 km (West): Current position .
- Left turn, drives 76 km (South): Current position .
- Left turn, drives 35 km (East): Current position .
- Left turn, drives 21 km (North) to stop at Z: Current position .
Point Z is at and Point Y is at . To reach Y from Z, Ravi must drive km in the positive X-direction, which is East.
