74. Tom walked 10 m towards north then turned right and walked 25 m. Then he turned right and walked 30 m. Now he turned left and walked 10 m. Finally, he turned left and walked 20 m. How far and in which direction is he from the starting point?
(A) 50 m East
(B) 30 m North
(C) 40 m North
(D) 35 m East
Answer:
(D) 35 m East
Explanation:
Tracking vertical (N/S) movement: +10m (N), -30m (S), +20m (N) = 0m (he is back on his starting horizontal line). Tracking horizontal (E/W) movement: +25m (E), +10m (E) = 35m East. Therefore, he is 35m directly East of his starting point.
75. Suresh walks 18 km from his house to the North. Then he turns towards the East and covers 12 km. He then turns towards the South and covers 6 km. Finally, he turns towards the West and covers 12 km. In which direction is he from his house?
(A) South
(B) North
(C) East
(D) West
Answer:
(B) North
Explanation:
Moving 18 km North, then 12 km East, then 6 km South brings him to a net 12 km North and 12 km East. Turning West and walking 12 km precisely cancels out his Eastward movement, leaving him exactly 12 km due North of his house.
