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)
- A woman leaves her home. She walks 40 m in North-West direction and then 90 m in South-East direction. Then, she moves 30 m in North direction. How far is she now from her initial position ?
- N sits to the North of L and West of M. L sits to the East of O. If everyone is facing North, which direction of O, is N?
I starts from Point A and drives 5 km towards the north. He then takes a right turn, drives 2 km, turns right and drives 9 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 7 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 $90^\circ$ turns only unless specified.)
A tourist drives $20 \text{ km}$ towards east, turns right and drives $6 \text{ km}$, then drives $6 \text{ km}$ towards west. He then turns to his left and drives $4 \text{ km}$ and finally turns right and drives $14 \text{ km}$. Where is he from his starting point?
- A Couple started to their offices in the morning from their home. While husband drives 3 km South and then 2 km to his right to reach his office, wife goes 2 km towards East for her office. With respect to husband's office, how far and in which direction is the wife's office ?
