Questions from this category can give you hard time, but if you just follow the steps it will be an easy task.
For example: Ali moved 5km north, turned right and moved 4km straight, again turned right and moved 5km. What is his position with respect to the starting point?
Solution:
- Step 1: Draw the direction axis first of all. I.e. North, south, east and west.
- Step 2: Consider origin as the starting point.
- Step 3: Plot the distance moved as lines on the paper. i.e from origin a line towards north will show 5km, then a line on right 4km, then line on another right 5km. This is the final point.
- Step 4: Check the distance of this point from the origin. You can also be asked the direction of the final point.
