A man walks 5 km east, turns left and walks 3 km, turns left again and walks 5 km. How far is he from the start?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.
1. East 5 km. Left = North 3 km. Left again = West 5 km.
2. East displacement: 5 − 5 = 0. North displacement: 3.
3. Distance from start = √(0² + 3²) = 3 km.
