One day a man left his home for a morning walk and went 12 km southwards. He then turned right and walked 8 km. Again turned right and walked 12 km, turned left and walked 10 km. How many kilometres the man has to walk to reach straight to his home?एक दिन एक व्यक्ति प्रातः भ्रमण के लिए अपने घर से निकला और 12 किमी दक्षिण की ओर गया। फिर वह दाएँ मुड़ा और 8 किमी चला। पुनः दाएँ मुड़कर 12 किमी चला, फिर बाएँ मुड़कर 10 किमी चला। अपने घर तक सीधे पहुँचने के लिए उस व्यक्ति को कितने किलोमीटर चलना होगा?

Correct answer: B. 18 km18 किमी
Explanation
Take home as (0, 0). Walking 12 km south gives (0, −12). Facing south, a right turn faces west; 8 km west gives (−8, −12). A second right turn faces north; 12 km north gives (−8, 0). A left turn now faces west; 10 km west gives (−18, 0). He is due west of home on the same line, so the straight distance back is 8 + 10 = 18 km.घर को (0, 0) मानें। 12 किमी दक्षिण चलने पर (0, −12)। दक्षिण की ओर मुख होने पर दाएँ मुड़ने से मुख पश्चिम हो जाता है; 8 किमी पश्चिम चलने पर (−8, −12)। पुनः दाएँ मुड़ने पर मुख उत्तर; 12 किमी उत्तर चलने पर (−8, 0)। अब बाएँ मुड़ने पर मुख पश्चिम; 10 किमी पश्चिम चलने पर (−18, 0)। वह घर की ठीक पश्चिम दिशा में उसी रेखा पर है, अतः सीधी दूरी = 8 + 10 = 18 किमी।More Logical Reasoning questions
