A man starts from a point A and walks 30 metres towards the south. From there he turns left and walks 40 metres. Again he turns left and walks 30 metres and reaches a point B. How far and in which direction is the man now from point A?
A20 metres West
B30 metres East ✓ Correct
C20 metres North
D20 metres South
Correct answer: (B) 30 metres East — The National Testing Agency dropped this item from evaluation, so no option is a settled key.
Explanation
★The National Testing Agency dropped this item from evaluation, so no option is a settled key.
★Starting at A, the man walks 30 metres south.
★Turning left from south faces him east, and he walks 40 metres east.
★Turning left again from east faces him north, and he walks 30 metres north.
★The northward 30 metres cancels the southward 30 metres, leaving him 40 metres east of A.
★None of the four options states 40 metres east, so the item is defective as printed.
★For that reason the agency cancelled the question.
