Logical Reasoning Question on Numeric Grid
From a point, Rajneesh started walking towards east and walked 35 m. He then turned towards his right and walked 20 m and he again turned right and walked 35 m. Finally he turned to his left and walked 20 m and he reached his destination. Now, how far is he from his starting point ?
A
55 m
B
50 m
C
20 m
D
40 m
Answer
40 m
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (D): 40m
Reason: Rajneesh's path forms a rectangle. He walks 35 m east, 20 m south, 35 m west, and 20 m south. The total displacement from the starting point is along the vertical direction, which is 40 m south. Hence, he is 40 m away from his starting point.
