Ashish cycles 11 km south, then turns west and cycles 8 km, then turns north and cycles 6 km, then turns east and cycles 2 km, then turns to his left and cycles 5 km. Where is he now with reference to his starting position?

Ashish cycles 11 km south, then turns west and cycles 8 km, then turns north and cycles 6 km, then turns east and cycles 2 km, then turns to his left and cycles 5 km. Where is he now with reference to his starting position? Correct Answer 6 km west

The logic followed is:

i) Ashish cycles 11 km south

ii) then turns west and cycles 8 km

iii) then turns north and cycles 6 km

iv) then turns east and cycles 2 km

v) then turns to his left and cycles 5 km

For this question, the figure is given below-

From the above figure, we can see that the starting point is 'O' and the end point is 'D'.

The distance between OD = (AB - CE) = 8 - 2 = 6 Km west.

Hence, Option (4) is correct.
