A person facing the East travels 4 km straight and then turns right and travels 3 km, then further turns left and travels 2 km and finally turns left and travels 3 km. The minimum distance between the final point and the initial point, and the direction in which the person is facing at the final point are, respectively

  1. 12 km, East
  2. 6 km, East
  3. 8 km, North
  4. 6 km, North

Answer

6 km, North

Take the start point as (0,0), facing East. Move 4 km to (4,0); turn right and move 3 km to (4,-3); turn left and move 2 km to (6,-3); turn left again and move 3 km to (6,0). So the final point is 6 km from the start, and the person is facing North.
