Here's the question bank on all the logical reasoning topics.
Dileep walks 60 m towards the south from his home. Then, he turns left and walks 80 m. He again turns left and walks 90 m. He finally turns left and walks 120 m to reach a park. What is the shortest distance between his home and the park?
The given information is:1) Dileep walks 60 m towards the south from his home2) Then, he turns left and walks 80 m3) He again turns left and walks 90 m4) He finally turns left and walks 120 m to reach a parkDraw the diagram according to the given information.From the above diagram, it is clear that DE = 40 m and OE = 30 m.OD is the shortest distance between Dileep's home and the park.Use Pythagoras theorem to find the distance OD.(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2Here, Hypotenuse = OD, Base = DE and Perpendicular = OE? (OD)2 = (DE)2 + (OE)2? (OD)2 = (40)2 + (30)2? (OD)2 = 1600 + 900? (OD)2 = 2500? OD = \(\sqrt2500\)? OD = 50 mTherefore, the shortest distance between Dileep's home and the park is 50 m.Hence, the correct answer is 50 m.
