Q 7 - Salim started to move in the East direction in an open field and stopped after moving 30m. Now he turned right-hand side and moved 10 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 30 and 10, which are 900 and 100 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 1000. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 31.60 m. So, the minimum distance here is 31m.
Q 8 - Rudhi Sundar started to move towards East in his own lawn and stopped after moving 45m. Now he turned to his right-hand side and moved 30 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 45 and 30, which are 2025 and 900 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 2925. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 54.07 m. So, the minimum distance here is 54 m.
Q 9 - Bikash started walking towards South. After walking 30 m, he turned towards left-hand side and walked 40 m. He then turned left-hand side and walked 30 m. He again turned left-hand side and walked 50m. How far is he from his initial position?
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
When Bikash walked 30m South and turned left-hand side and walked 40m and again turned left-hand side and walked 30 m, he is at 40 m to the East of his initial position. Then he turned left-hand side and walked 50 m, so after the final movement he is 10m to the West of his initial position.
Q 10 - John started to move towards North-East on a road and stopped after moving 48m. He turned left-hand side and moved 38 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?

Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 48 and 38, which are 2304 and 1444 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 3748. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 61.22 m. So, the minimum distance here is 61 m.
