Gita is 9 m south of Hari. Isha is 12 m east of Gita. Jay is 9 m north of Isha. What is Jay's position with respect to Hari?
Jay is 12 m east of Hari. Gita's 9 m south shift is cancelled by Jay's 9 m north shift, so only Isha's 12 m eastward displacement remains, placing Jay due east of Hari.
- A12 m eastCorrect
- B9 m east
- C12 m west
- D15 m north-east
Explanation
Take Hari at (0,0). Gita is at (0,-9). Isha is 12 m east: (12,-9). Jay is 9 m north of Isha: (12,0). So Jay is 12 m directly east of Hari. The 15 m option wrongly treats the path as a diagonal.
