Starting from the top of a page and pointing downward, an ant moves according to the following commands: Of the following path, Which is the correct path of the ant?
A
To determine the correct path of the ant, let's analyze the given instructions and apply them step-by-step:
- The ant starts by moving forward 100 units.
- Next, the ant turns right by 90 degrees.
- Then, the ant turns left by 30 degrees.
The actions in the box are repeated 4 times.
- These complete actions within the curly brackets are repeated 3 times.
This essentially describes a series of short segments and turns, forming a complex figure that is replicated to create overlapping shapes.
Let's visualize and verify by the process of elimination which given option corresponds to these actions. The consistent repetition of movements in specific angles primarily leads to a figure that resembles Option A.
Conclusion: Option A is correct as it accurately represents the path formed by the described series of movements and turns.
Important Questions from Direction and Distance (Notes)
- Kajal left home for a hospital. She travelled 5 km towards East, then turned towards South-East to travel another 10 km, then again she turned towards North-East to travel 10 km and finally, she reached the hospital. In which direction is the hospital with respect to her home?
- If a map is placed in such a manner that east becomes southeast, then what will northeast become?
- The door of Aman's house faces east. From the back side of his house, Aman walks straight 30m. Again he walks 20m after turning to his left, then he turns to his right and walks 30m. Finally he turn towards north and walks 20m and stops. So, what is the distance between the starting and the end point?
