Where is she now with reference to her starting position? Correct Answer 40 m westwards
Given
1. A woman walks 110 m southwards.
2. She turns eastwards and walks 80 m
3. She turns northwards and walk 120 m,
4. She turns westwards and walks 120 m then she turns to her left and walks 10 m.
The diagram below shows the path followed by woman
Therefore, above diagram clearly shows the the distance between starting point and ending point is 40 meters and she is in west direction with respect to her starting point.
Hence, "40 m westwards" is the correct answer.
