Afreena walks 8 km towards East and then walks 13 km back, then she turns left and walks 4 km; then walks 5 km after turning left; she turns left again and walks 3 km. How far is she from the starting point?
Explanation:
Let's break down Afreena's path step by step:
- She walks 8 km East (let's call this her starting direction).
- She then walks 13 km back (West), so she's now 5 km West from her starting point (13 - 8 = 5 km West).
- She turns left (now facing South) and walks 4 km.
- Turns left again (now facing East) and walks 5 km.
- Turns left again (now facing North) and walks 3 km.
Her final position compared to the start:
- West-East position: 5 km West (from step 2), then 5 km East (from step 4), so 0 km (she's back to the original West-East line).
- North-South position: 4 km South (from step 3), 3 km North (from step 5), so 1 km South (4 - 3 = 1 km South).
So, she is 1 km SOUTH of the starting point.
Correct Option:
- Option 3: 1 km
