    Question

    A man walks 3 km towards west and walks 2 km to south. Again he turns east and walks for 0.5 km. How far is he from the starting point?

    A.

    2.5 km

    B.

    3.2 km

    C.

    2 km

    D.

    3 km

    Correct option is B

    From the given diagram we can find that person moves towards west then south and then east so from initial point we have
    Distance from the starting point = √(2.5)2 + (2)2 = √6.25 + 4 = √10.25 =
    3.2(approximately)
    He is 3.2 km from the starting point.
    Hence, "3.2 km" is the correct answer.
