A boy who is facing north walks 5 m towards his left from point A and reaches at point B. Now he walks 8 m south direction and reaches at point C. From point C he takes three consecutive right turns 2 m, 4 m and 7 m respectively and reaches at point G. From point G he takes his right turn and reaches at point H after cover 4 m.
What is the direction of point C with respect to point B?
Correct Answer :
South
Solution :
The correct option is South.
Let's break down the step-by-step movement of the boy to understand the positions of the points:
1. Starting from Point A:
The boy is initially facing North at point A.
When facing North, taking a left turn means moving towards the West direction.
He walks 5 m towards his left (West) from point A to reach point B.
So, point B is 5 m West of point A.
2. Moving from Point B to Point C:
From point B, he walks 8 m directly in the South direction to reach point C.
Therefore, point C lies directly to the South of point B.
3. Determining the direction of point C with respect to point B:
Since point C was reached by walking straight in the South direction from point B, point C is located in the South direction with respect to point B.
