Question Detail
A child is looking for his father. He went 90 meters in the east before turning to his right. He went 20 meters before turning to is right again to look for his father at his uncle's place 30 meters from this point. His father was not there. From there, he went 100 meters to his north before meeting his father in a street. How far did the son meet his father from starting point ?
- 80 metre
- 90 metre
- 100 metre
- 110 metre
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Clearly, the child moves from A to B 90 metres eastwards upto B, then turns right and moves 20 metre upto C, then turns right and moves upto 30 metre upto D. Finally he turns right and moves upto 100 metre upto E.
So AB = 90 metre, BF = CD = 30 metre,
So, AF = AB - BF = 60 metre
Also DE = 100 metre, DF = BC = 20 metre
So, EF = DE - DF = 80 metre
as we can see in image that triangle AFE is a right angled triangle and we are having two sides, need to calculate third one, so we can apply Pythagoras theorem here
\begin{aligned}
A = AE = \sqrt{AF^2 + EF^2} \\
= \sqrt{(60)^2+(80)^2} \\
= \sqrt{3600+6400} \\
= \sqrt{10000} = 100
\end{aligned}
So from starting point his father was 100 metre away.
1. Rohit walked 25 metres towards South. Then he turned to his left and walked 20 metres. He then turned to his left and walked 25 metres. He again turned to his right and walked 15 metres. At what distance is he from the starting point and in which direction ?

The movements of Rohit are shown in figure.
Rohit's distance from the starting point A will be
AE = AD+DE = 20 + 15 = 35 metre
And direction with reference to the starting point is east.
2. Starting from a point P, Sachin walked 20 metres towards South. He turned left and walked 30 metres. He then turned left and walked 20 metres. He again turned left and walked 40 metres and reached a point Q. How far and in which direction is the point Q from the point P ?
- 30 metres, West
- 10 metres, West
- 30 metres, North
- 10 metres, North
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Please refer to the image for movements.

3. Gaurav walks 20 metres towards North. He then turns left and walks 40 metres. He again turns left and walks 20 metres. Further, he moves 20 metres after turning to the right. How far is he from his original position ?
- 40 metres
- 50 metres
- 60 metres
- 70 metres
Answer: Option C

Please check the movements of Gaurav in the figure.
Now, Gaurav distance from his initial position A to E
AE = (AD+DE) = 40 + 20 = 60 metres.
4. A child is looking for his father. He went 90 meters in the east before turning to his right. He went 20 meters before turning to is right again to look for his father at his uncle's place 30 meters from this point. His father was not there. From there, he went 100 meters to his north before meeting his father in a street. How far did the son meet his father from starting point ?
- 80 metre
- 90 metre
- 100 metre
- 110 metre
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Clearly, the child moves from A to B 90 metres eastwards upto B, then turns right and moves 20 metre upto C, then turns right and moves upto 30 metre upto D. Finally he turns right and moves upto 100 metre upto E.
So AB = 90 metre, BF = CD = 30 metre,
So, AF = AB - BF = 60 metre
Also DE = 100 metre, DF = BC = 20 metre
So, EF = DE - DF = 80 metre
as we can see in image that triangle AFE is a right angled triangle and we are having two sides, need to calculate third one, so we can apply Pythagoras theorem here
\begin{aligned}
A = AE = \sqrt{AF^2 + EF^2} \\
= \sqrt{(60)^2+(80)^2} \\
= \sqrt{3600+6400} \\
= \sqrt{10000} = 100
\end{aligned}
So from starting point his father was 100 metre away.
