Solved examples
-1. Mohitwalks 6 km to the East and turns to the South and walk 5 km. Again he turns to the East and walks 6 km.
Next, he turns northwards and walks 10 km. How far is he from his starting point?
(1) 5 km (2) 12 km (3) 13 km (4) 17 km
Mohitstarts from A walks 6 km East upto B, tums southwards and moves 5 km upto C. At C, he tumsto the East
and walks 6 km upto D. He then turns northwardsand walks 10 km upto E.
Now, draw BO and AE.
Clearly,BO - CD - 6 km
AO (AB + BO) = (6 + 6)km - 12 km
OE - (DE - OD) - (DE-BC) 10km
