Q. Abhay travelled 9 km Northwards, turned left and travelled 5 km, then…

Solution: Calculate the net displacement by considering each leg of the journey.

• Step 1: Abhay travels 9 km north from the starting point.

• Step 2: He turns left (facing west) and travels 5 km.

• Step 3: He turns left again (facing south) and travels 9 km, which brings him back to the same north-south level as the starting point.

Result: The northward and southward movements cancel each other out, leaving a single 5 km westward displacement. Therefore, Abhay is 5 km from the starting point.
