Study the following information carefully to answer these questions.
A vehicle starts from point P and run 10 km towards North. It takes a right turn and runs 15 km. Now it runs 6 km after taking a left turn. Finally, it takes a left turn, runs 15 km and stops at point


How far is point Q with respect to point P ?
1). 16 km
2). 25 km
3). 4 km
4). 0 km

This Question has 1 answers.

The vehicle's movement step by step:

  1. Starts at Point P and moves 10 km North.
  2. Takes a right turn (moving East) and travels 15 km.
  3. Takes a left turn (moving North) and travels 6 km.
  4. Takes another left turn (moving West) and travels 15 km, stopping at Point Q.
Final Position Calculation: Eastward movement: 15 km (step 2)

Westward movement: 15 km (step 4)

Since the vehicle moves the same distance East and West, its final East-West displacement is 0 km.
Northward movement: 10 km (step 1) + 6 km (step 3) = 16 km

Southward movement: 0 km

Since the vehicle never moves South, the total North-South displacement is 16 km North.
Answer: The distance between Point P and Point Q is 16 km North.
Correct option: (1) 16 km.
