Q 7 - Salim started to move in the East direction in an open field and stopped after moving 30m. Now he turned right-hand side and moved 10 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
Options :
Answer : C
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 30 and 10, which are 900 and 100 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 1000. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 31.60 m. So, the minimum distance here is 31m.
Q 8 - Saif started to move towards South-East direction in an open field and stopped after moving 100m. Now he turned to his right-hand side and moved 75 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 100 and 75, which are 10000 and 5625 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 15625. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 125 m. So, the minimum distance here is 125 m.
Q 9 - Ramesh started walking towards North. After walking 60 m, he turned right-hand side and walked 100 m. He then turned right-hand side and walked 60 m. He again turned right-hand side and walked 80m. How far is he from his initial position?

When Ramesh walked 60m North and turned right-hand side and walked 100m and again turned right-hand side and walked 60 m, he is 100 m to the East of his initial position. Then he turned right-hand side and walked 80 m. So after the final movement, he is 20m to the East of his initial position.
Q 10 - Purussottam started to move in the East direction on a road and stopped after moving 20m. Now, he turned right-hand side and moved 10 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 20 and 10, which are 400 and 100 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 500. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 22.36 m. So, the minimum distance here is 22 m.
