Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) 12 km, North
Track each leg on a compass grid (a left turn rotates the heading 90° anti-clockwise, a right turn 90° clockwise). Net east-west: East 5 − West 5 = 0 (no east-west shift). Net north-south: North 12 − South 0 = 12 (12 km North). So P is 12 km straight North of A. He is at point P; answer: 12 km, North.
हिंदी में प्रश्न
Sanjay बिंदु A से चलना शुरू करता है और पश्चिम की ओर 5 किमी चलता है, फिर दाएं मुड़कर 12 किमी चलता है, और अंत में दाएं मुड़कर 5 किमी चलकर बिंदु P पर रुकता है। बिंदु P की बिंदु A से न्यूनतम दूरी कितनी है, और P, A से किस दिशा में है? (सभी मोड़ 90° के हैं।)

सही उत्तर: (A) 12 किमी, उत्तर
प्रत्येक चरण को दिशा-ग्रिड पर लिखें (बाएं मोड़ से दिशा 90° वामावर्त, दाएं मोड़ से 90° दक्षिणावर्त घूमती है)। कुल पूर्व-पश्चिम: पूर्व 5 − पश्चिम 5 = 0 (पूर्व-पश्चिम में कोई विस्थापन नहीं)। कुल उत्तर-दक्षिण: उत्तर 12 − दक्षिण 0 = 12 (12 किमी उत्तर)। अतः P, A से ठीक उत्तर में 12 किमी दूर है। उत्तर: 12 किमी, उत्तर।
