A street seller starts from his home. He pushes his cart 1 km East, then he turns North and walks 4 km, then he turns West and walks 9 km, then he turns to his left and walks 4 km. Where is he with respect to his home?
10 km West
Incorrect Answer8 km East
Incorrect Answer10 km East
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- The seller starts from home and pushes the cart 1 km East.
- Then, he turns North and walks 4 km.
- Upon turning West, he walks 9 km.
- He turns to his left (South) and walks 4 km.
- Now, let’s calculate his final position:
- Initially, he moves 1 km East.
- Then moves 9 km West, resulting in 8 km West from the starting point.
- The North and South movements (each 4 km) cancel each other out.
- The final position is 8 km West of the starting point.
- Correct option: Option 1: 8 km West
