A man travels 12 km straight towards south and then turns right and travels 15 km straight. He again turns right and travels 12 km. How far is the man from the starting point?
A27 km
B39 km
C24 km
D15 km ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 15 km — The answer is 15 km.
Explanation
★The answer is 15 km.
★The man first goes 12 km south.
★He then turns right and goes 15 km west.
★He turns right again and goes 12 km north, cancelling the first 12 km.
★So he ends up 15 km due west of the start.
★The straight distance from the start is therefore 15 km.
★So the answer is 15 km.
