Question

Raman started from a point and walked a distance of 200 m towards the north. He then turned left and walked 300 m, turned right and walked 400m, and then turned right again and walked 300 m. How far is Raman from the starting point? (All turns are 90° turns only)

• A. 400 m
• B. 600 m
• C. 200 m
• D. 700 m

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 600 m

Raman is 600 meters away from his starting point.

• Initial position: Starts at the origin point.

• First move: Walks 200 m North.

• Second move: Turns West, walks 300 m.

• Third move: Turns North, walks 400 m.

• Final move: Turns East, walks 300 m.

Distance Calculation

• Horizontal shift: The 300 m West and 300 m East cancel each other out completely.

• Vertical shift: Raman moved 200 m North, then another 400 m North.

• Total distance: 200 m + 400 m = 600 m.
