Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem you have shared is in Hindi, and it describes a scenario involving a person riding a bicycle in different directions and distances. Here's a breakdown of the problem and how to solve it:
Problem Description (Translated):
- A person named ऋषभ starts from his house and rides his bicycle 10 km south.
- He turns right and rides 5 km.
- Then, he turns right again and rides 10 km.
- Finally, he turns left and rides 10 km.
- The question asks how many kilometers he will need to ride straight to return to his home.
Solution:
We can break this problem down step by step using a coordinate system or vector approach:
- Initial Position: He starts at the origin (his house).
- First Movement: He moves 10 km south.
- His new position is (0, -10).
- Second Movement (Right Turn): He turns right (west), which means he is now heading west. He moves 5 km.
- His new position is (-5, -10).
- Third Movement (Right Turn): He turns right again (north) and moves 10 km.
- His new position is (-5, 0), because moving 10 km north from (-5, -10) brings him back to the same vertical level as his starting point.
- Fourth Movement (Left Turn): He turns left (west) and rides 10 km.
- His new position is (-15, 0).
At this point, his final position is (-15, 0), and his house is at (0, 0). So, the straight-line distance he needs to travel to get back home is the horizontal distance between his current position and his home, which is 15 km.
Final Answer:
He will need to ride 15 kilometers straight to return home.
The correct option is (2) 15 किमी.
