Sumeet starts from Point Y and drives 12 km towards the West. He then takes a left turn, drives 74 km, turns right and drives 65 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 57 km. He takes a right turn, drives 31 km. He then turns left and drives 17 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: 1

Take Point Y as (0,0)(0,0).

MovePosition
12 km west(−12,0)(-12,0)
74 km left, so south(−12,−74)(-12,-74)
65 km right, so west(−77,−74)(-77,-74)
57 km right, so north(−77,−17)(-77,-17)
31 km right, so east(−46,−17)(-46,-17)
17 km left, so north(−46,0)(-46,0)

Point Z is therefore 46 km west of Y. To return to Y, Sumeet must drive 46 km east.
