Question

Dev starts from Point A and drives 16 km towards north. He then takes a right turn, drives 7 km, turns right and drives 11 km. He then takes a left turn, drives 21 km, turns right and drives 10 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 32 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 5 km and stops at Point P. How far (the shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point A again? (All turns are 90° turns only, unless specified.)

A.

8 km towards south

B.

4 km towards east

C.

6 km towards north

D.

2 km towards west

Correct option is B

Given,
Dev starts from Point A and drives 16 km towards north.
then takes a right turn, drives 7 km, turns right and drives 11 km.
He then takes a left turn, drives 21 km, turns right and drives 10 km.
He then takes a right turn and drives 32 km.
He takes a final right turn, drives 5 km and stops at Point P.
From the given information direction arrangement will be:
Movement = (7 + 21 - 32) = (28 - 32) = -4 km (4 km west).
So, Point P is 4 km west of Point A, Dev must travel 4 km east to return to Point A.

Thus, the correct option is: (b). 4 km towards east.
