Suresh is now 19 years old and in college. Since he was a 5-year-old, he stayed in a hostel and is now coming back home after 14 long years. His parents have texted him the direction from the railway station to his house. See the below text message sent to Suresh by his parents and answer the following question accordingly. “When you step out of the railway station, you are facing north. Take a right and drive 4 km, you will see a T-point/junction. Take a right and drive 2 km. There will be a roundabout with four roads. Take the second left from the round-about and drive 1 km. Take a right and drive 3 km. Take a left and drive 2 km. You will find our house at the front. Come home fast.”

How many kilometres did Suresh drive to reach his home from the railway station?

When he steps out of the railway station, he is facing north.

He is asked to take a right and drive 4 km.

At a T-point, he takes a right again and drives 2 km.

He then reaches a roundabout with four roads and takes the second left, driving 1 km.

He then takes a right and drives 3 km.

He finally takes a left and drives 2 km.

Suresh's home is at the front after this.

​Total distance = 4 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 12 km
