Math Problem Statement

ऋषभ घर से निकलता है और 10 कि.मी. दक्षिण की ओर साइकिल चलाता है, दाएं मुड़ता है और 5 कि.मी. साइकिल चलाता है, फिर दाएं मुड़ता है और 10 कि.मी. साइकिल चलाता है, और फिर बाएं मुड़ता है और 10 कि.मी. साइकिल चलाता है। सीधे अपने घर पहुँचने के लिए उसे कितने किलोमीटर साइकिल चलानी होगी?

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:

  1. Initial Position: He starts at the origin (his house).
  2. First Movement: He moves 10 km south.
    • His new position is (0, -10).
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
