Question

What is the position of T with respect to point U if both are in straight line? 

• A. 10 km to the south
• B. 7 km to the west
• C. 10 km to the west
• D. 10 km to the east
• E.

Hint:

For relative positions in straight line problems, break the path into components (north-south, east-west) and find the difference in distances in the respective directions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Ankit's north-south legs (2N, 3N, 5S) cancel out to zero net displacement.
2. His east-west legs (3E, 7E) net to 10 km east, so U lies 10 km east of T.
3. Therefore T lies 10 km west of U.

So, the correct answer is 10 km to the west.
