Question

A man walks 5 km towards North, then turns right and walks 3 km, then turns right again and walks 5 km. How far and in which direction is he from the starting point?

  1. 5 km East
  2. 3 km East
  3. 3 km West
  4. 8 km East

Correct answer

B — 3 km East

Explanation (English)

Start (0,0). North 5 -> (0,5). Turn right (now East) 3 -> (3,5). Turn right (now South) 5 -> (3,0). Distance from start = 3 km, and the point (3,0) is due East. So 3 km East.
