Solution :-

1) The 1st line in the question says that person walks 50m east.

2) The 2nd line says that he turns right and walks 100m since he is facing east so his right would be ‘SOUTH’ direction therefore he walks 100m south.

3) The 3rd line says that he turns right again and walks 150m so right of south is west.

4) Further the question says that he finally turns right and walks 100 m so right of west direction is north

 

CONCEPT OF MINIMUM DISTANCE

Minimum distance between initial and last point.

 

h2 = b2 +P2

where,
h = Hypotenuse
b = Base
P = Perpendicular

Remember this important rule is known as Pythogoras Theorem’
