Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside: (A set of 2 questions)
Point M is 5 meters towards the North of Point L. Point P is 10 meters towards the East of point M. Point N is 6 meters towards the East of point L. Point O is 11 meters towards the West of point N.
If a person walks 5 m towards the South from point P and then after taking a right turn, which of the following points would he reach first? [Question no 6 and 7 are linked together]
- A.
L
- B.
M
- C.
N
- D.
O
Attempted by 6 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: assign coordinates and track the walk step by step.
Place L at (0, 0).
M is 5 m north of L → M = (0, 5).
P is 10 m east of M → P = (10, 5).
N is 6 m east of L → N = (6, 0).
O is 11 m west of N → O = (-5, 0).
Now follow the person's movement:
From P = (10, 5) walk 5 m south → arrive at (10, 0).
Take a right turn while facing south → now facing west, so move along the line y = 0 toward decreasing x.
The first named point encountered is N at (6, 0), which is 4 m west of (10, 0).
Therefore, the person reaches point N first.
