What is the distance between Point L and Point S ........

Logical Reasoning ( Phase -I) Direction Sense

Direction:- Read the given information to answer the given questions

Renuka starts walking towards north from Point S. she walks for a distance of 6m and reaches Point T. From Point T she further walks for 10 m to reach Point U. From Point U she turns to her right. After turning right, she walks for 18 m to reach Point V. From Point V she finally turns to her right. She walks for a distance of 12 m and stops at point W. Shan is standing at point W. He walks 10 m towards south to reach N. From point N he takes a right turn. He walks for a distance of 18 m and reaches Point M. From point M he turns to his left. He further walks for a distance of 16 m and stops at point L.

Explanation:

Let's break it down step-by-step:

- Renuka walks 6m north from S to T, then 10m north to U.

- From U, she turns right (east) and walks 18m to V.

- From V, she turns right (south) and walks 12m to W.

Shan starts at W:

- Goes 10m south to N.

- Turns right (west), walks 18m to M.

- Turns left (south), walks 16m to L.

Now, let's calculate:

- Renuka's total north distance = 6 + 10 = 16m

- Total east distance from S = 18m

- W is 16m north and 18m east of S

- Shan ends up at L, which is 10 + 16 = 26m south of W (so 26 - 16 = 10m south of S), and 18m west, which brings him in line with S (since W was 18m east).

- So, L is exactly 10m south of S.

So, the straight-line distance between S (0,0) and L (0, -10) is 10m, not 22m.

Options:

1. 22 m

2. 12 m

3. 21 m

4. 14 m

5. 19 m

So, none of these match 10m. Let's double-check calculations:

- From W (16N, 18E), go 10m south to N (6N, 18E), then 18m west to M (6N, 0E), then 16m south to L (-10N, 0E).

- S is (0N, 0E), L is (-10N, 0E). Distance = |-10-0| = 10m.

None of the options exactly match, but if we made an error, the closest process to options would still make 12m possible if there is a step misread—but with the above analysis, the answer should be 10m.
