Direction Sense · Question 13 · Hard
P is 9 m North of Q. R is 12 m East of Q. S is 4 m North of R. How far and in which direction is S from P?
- 13 m North-East
- 15 m South-East
- 13 m South-East
- 17 m South-East
Answer and explanation
Answer: C. 13 m South-East
Explanation: Taking Q as (0, 0): P = (0, 9) and S = (12, 4). S is 12 m East and 5 m South of P, so distance = √(12² + 5²) = 13 m towards South-East.
