Yoga covered a distance of 7 km straight from point E to F. From point F he took a right turn and covered a distance of 8 km to reach point G. From here he took a right turn and covered a distance of 7 km to reach point H. At point H he took a left turn and walked 3 km to reach point I. How far is he from the starting point?

Correct Answer 11 km
As no information about the direction is given, we can assume any direction.
Let us assume that Yoga traveled from point E to F for 7 km towards the north and then he turned right i.e. towards the east and went for 8 km and then again turned right i.e. towards the south and went for 7 km and then finally turned left i.e. towards the east.
The path covered by Yoga is shown below:

The distance between E and I = 8 + 3 = 11 km
Hence, the distance between the starting and the final point is "11 km".
