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<br/>

  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.
