  • Question
  • A person starts from a point A and travels 3 km east - wards to B and then turns left and travels thrice that distance to reach C. He again turns left and travels five times the distance he covered between A and B and reaches his destination D. The shortest distance between the starting point and the destination is?


  • Options
  • A. 12 KM
  • B. 15 KM
  • C. 16 KM
  • D. 18 KM

  • Correct Answer
  • 15 KM 

    Explanation

    Draw the figure of movement with the help of given below direction graph.
    A person starts from a point A and travels 3 km East - Wards to B. Then he turns left and travels 9 km to reach C.
    He again turns left and travels 15 km and reaches his destination D.
    The movements of the person are as shown in Figure
    Clearly, AB = 3 km, BC = 3AB = (3 × 3) km = 9 km, CD = 5AB = (5 × 3) km = 15 km,
    Draw AE ? CD.
    Then, CE = AB = 3 km
    AE = BC = 9 km
    DE = (CD ? CE) = (15 ? 3) km = 12 km.
    In triangle AED, AD2 = AE2 + DE2
    or AD2 = 92 + 122
    or AD2 = 81+ 144
    or AD2 = 225
    or AD2 = 152
    AD = 15
    Required distance = AD = 15 km
