Pranay starts from Point A and drives 8 km towards east. He then takes a right turn, drives 11 km, turns right and drives 12 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 13 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 4 km and stops at Point P. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point A again? (All turns are 90° turns only unless specified.)
2 km to the south
Starting from Point A:
- Pranay drives 8 km east, so he is 8 km east of Point A.
- After the first right turn, he drives 11 km south, so he is 11 km south of his previous position.
- Another right turn and he drives 12 km west, so he is now 8 km - 12 km = 4 km west of his starting point.
- A third right turn and he drives 13 km north, so he is now 11 km - 13 km = 2 km north of his previous position.
- A final right turn makes him drive 4 km east, so he is now 4 km east of his 4 km west position, putting him 0 km east.
- To return to Point A, Pranay needs to drive 2 km south.
Thus, the shortest distance to reach Point A is 2 km to the south.
