Ravi starts his walk from his house facing North. He walks 8 meters straight, then takes a left turn and walks 6 meters. He then takes another left turn and walks 10 meters. After that, he takes a right turn and walks 4 meters. Next, he takes a right turn again and walks 6 meters. Finally, he takes a left turn and walks 2 meters. In which direction is he facing now?

1. Starting Direction: Ravi begins facing North.
2. First Movement: He walks 8 meters straight (still facing North).
3. First Turn: He takes a left turn, so now he faces West. He walks 6 meters.
4. Second Turn: He takes another left turn, so now he faces South. He walks 10 meters.
5. Third Turn: He takes a right turn, so now he faces West. He walks 4 meters.
6. Fourth Turn: He takes another right turn, so now he faces North. He walks 6 meters.
7. Final Turn: He takes a left turn, so now he faces West. He walks 2 meters.
After the entire journey, Ravi is facing West.
Vishnu starts when he was facing North. He turns left, travels 39m, turns left again, and travels 17m to reach B. From B, he moves 20m east to C. From C, he turns right, walks 23m to D, turns left, and walks 10m to his final destination. What is the distance between his initial and final points, and in which direction is the final point from the initial point?
The final point is 40 m south and 9m west to the starting point.
So, the distance between the two points is $$\sqrt{9^2+40^2}=41m$$
Hence the answer is 41m, south-west.
Ram stands at a point facing north. He walks forward for one hour, then turns left and walks for half an hour. He then rotates $$90^{\circ\ }$$ clockwise and walks for another half-an-hour, after which he turns $$90^{\circ\ }$$ clockwise and walks for an hour, after which he walks in the south direction for an hour. What is the shortest time (approximately) it would take him to reach the starting point?
(Assume that the walks at constant speed throughout.)
Let's assume that he moves s meters every 30 minutes.
So he first travels 2s meters to the north, then turns left, facing west and walks s meters in that direction, after which he turns 90 degrees clockwise, now facing north again and walks s meter again.
Then turns 90 degree clockwise yet again, facing east and walks 2s meters, and then turns towards south and walks 2s meters in that direction.
So, he is essentially s meters north and s meters east of his original position.
So he is $$s\sqrt{\ 2}$$ m away from the starting point.
This would take him approximately $$30\times\ \sqrt{\ 2}\approx\ 30\times\ 1.41\approx\ 42$$ minutes.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
Neeraj starts from his home and heads west. He travels 5 km and then takes a right turn and travels for 4 km. He takes a right turn and travels another 6 km. After this he takes a left turn and travels for another 4 km. What is shortest distance of his current position from the starting point?
The given situation can be represented through the following figure. Let S, C be the starting and current points of Neeraj.

Hence the distance from S to C can be obtained by using Pythagoras theorem.
SC = $$\sqrt{8^{2} + 1^{2}} = \sqrt{65}$$
Read the below information carefully and answer the following questions.
Rahul moves 12 m in North direction from a point O to reach point A. He turns right and moves 15 m to reach point B. Then he turns left and moves 10 m to reach a point C. She turns right and moves 6 m to reach a point D. He again turns right and moves 1m to reach point E. He further turns right and moves 1m to reach point F
Find the shortest distance between the initial position and final position?
In the North Direction Rahul has travelled (12 + 10 - 1)m = 21m.
In the East Direction Rahul has travelled (15+6-1) m = 20m.
By Pythagoras Theorem, total distance travelled => d
=> d = $$\sqrt{20^2+21^2}$$ = 29 m
Read the below information carefully and answer the following questions.
Rahul moves 12 m in North direction from a point O to reach point A. He turns right and moves 15 m to reach point B. Then he turns left and moves 10 m to reach a point C. She turns right and moves 6 m to reach a point D. He again turns right and moves 1m to reach point E. He further turns right and moves 1m to reach point F
If Rahul stops after reaching at point E, in which direction he should look to clearly see his initial position?
If Rahul stops at E, he travels (12+10-1) = 21m in the North Direction
and he has travelled (15 + 6) = 21m in the East Direction.
Therefore, Rahul is currently in the North-East direction with respect to the initial position.
So, he should look in opposite , i.e. , South-West direction to see his initial position.
Rushi is camping in the wilderness, he parks his car and walks 10 feet straight and then takes a right turn and walks 20 feet. He encounters some magic mushrooms which throws his sense of direction off and proceeds to take another right turn and walks 40 feet. Finally, he takes a left turn and walks 20 feet and sets up his camp for the night.
Find the distance (in feet) between the point where Rushi parked his car and the point where he set up camp for the night?
Rushi's actions can be traced into the following diagram,
To find the distance between the starting and the final point we can basically sketch out the right-angle triangle involved.
We know that the ending point is 40 feet away horizontally and 30 feet away vertically.
Hence the distance between the starting and the camping point is 50 feet.

Finally, he takes a left turn and walks 20 feet and sets up his camp for the night.
From the camped spot, if Rushi wants to take the shortest route to the point where he encountered magic mushrooms, what is the distance (to the nearest integer) he would have to travel?
Rushi's actions can be traced into the following diagram,
From the camped spot to the point where he discovered magic mushrooms it is a right-angled triangle with sides 40 and 20.
Distance would be: $$\sqrt{1600+400}=20\sqrt{5}$$
Which approximately is: 44.72, nearest integer is 45.
Ram starts from his home in the morning and moves towards south. He walks straight for 5 km to reach point A. He takes a right turn at A and travels for another 3 km to reach point B. He takes another left turn and walks for 4 km to reach point C. At C, Amit takes a right turn and walks for 3 more km to reach point D. At D, he takes a right turn and travels for 4 km to reach point E.
What is the shortest distance between point B and point E?
From B to E, we can see that Ram would be travelling in a straight line parallel to the line CD and the distance would be same as the length of CD. Therefore, the shortest distance between B and E would be 3 km. Hence, option C is correct

At D, he takes a right turn and travels for 4 km to reach point E.
What is the shortest distance between Ram’s home and point E?
From Home to E, Ram has traveled 5 km in south direction
and Ram has traveled ( 3 + 3 ) km = 6 km in West direction.
The shortest distance would be => $$ \sqrt{ 6^2 + 5^2 } $$ km = $$ \sqrt{61} $$ km
Hence, option D is correct
