Accepted Answer

This question tests sequential direction tracking with repeated right turns and a final left turn, plus distance calculation.

Question 9

Amit starts at point X facing East. He walks 12 km, turns 45° to his left, and walks 8 km. Then he turns 45° to his right and walks 6 km. Finally, he turns 90° to his left and walks 4 km to reach point Y. What is the approximate straight-line distance from X to Y?

Accepted Answer

This question combines cardinal and diagonal turns with multiple segments, requiring careful coordinate tracking.

Question 10

Neha starts at point A facing North. She walks 7 km, turns 90° right, walks 5 km, turns 90° right again, walks 11 km, turns 90° left, walks 3 km, and finally turns 90° left and walks 4 km to reach point B. In which direction is point B from point A, and what is the distance?

Accepted Answer

This complex multi-turn problem tests the ability to track both direction and position through six turns and varying distances, requiring careful coordinate management and final bearing calculation.

Question 11

Rajesh starts from point A facing North. He walks 8 km, then turns 90° right and walks 6 km. After this, he turns 90° left and walks 12 km. Finally, he turns 90° right and walks 4 km to reach point B. What is his final direction and how far is he from point A?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to track position and direction through multiple turns and varying distances. Students must maintain a mental coordinate system and calculate final displacement using the Pythagorean theorem.
