Ram start moving from a point, facing in East direction. After walking 15 m, he turned to his left and walked 25 m, before turning to his right. Then, he walked a distance of 35 m, then turned to his right and stop after walking further a distance of 25 m. Find how far Ram is from his starting point.

Option b: 50 m. Solution: Let starting point be (0,0) facing East. - Walks 15 m East (15, 0) . - Turns left (North) and walks 25 m (15, 25) . - Turns right (East) and walks 35 m (50, 25) . - Turns right (South) and walks 25 m (50, 0) . The distance from starting point (0,0) to the final position (50, 0) is: Distance = 50 m Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Ram start moving from a point, facing in East direction. After walking $15$ m, he turned to his left and walked $25$m, before turning to his right. Then, he walked a distance of $35$ m, then turned to his right and stop after walking further a distance of $25$ m. Find how far Ram is from his starting point.

The correct answer is Option b: $50$ m. Let starting point be $(0,0)$ facing East. - Walks 15 m East $\implies (15, 0)$. - Turns left (North) and walks 25 m $\implies (15, 25)$. - Turns right (East) and walks 35 m $\implies (50, 25)$. - Turns right (South) and walks 25 m $\implies (50, 0)$. The distance from starting point $(0,0)$ to the final position $(50, 0)$ is: $$\text{Distance} = 50\text{ m}$$ Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.

Correct Answer

✅ Option b — $\displaystyle 50$ m

All Options:

A $\displaystyle 20$ m
B $\displaystyle 50$ m
C $\displaystyle 15$ m
D $\displaystyle 10$ m

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let starting point be

\displaystyle (0,0)

facing East.
- Walks 15 m East

\displaystyle \implies (15, 0)

.
- Turns left (North) and walks 25 m

\displaystyle \implies (15, 25)

.
- Turns right (East) and walks 35 m

\displaystyle \implies (50, 25)

.
- Turns right (South) and walks 25 m

\displaystyle \implies (50, 0)

.
The distance from starting point

\displaystyle (0,0)

to the final position

\displaystyle (50, 0)

is:

\text{Distance} = 50\text{ m}

Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
