Question : A man goes 24 m towards the east and then 10 m towards the north. How far is he away from his initial position?

Option 1: 23 m

Option 2: 25 m

Option 3: 26 m

Option 4: 24 m

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26 m

Towards north = 10 m
Distance from his initial position = $\sqrt{\text{Distance toward east}^2+\text{Distance toward north}^2}$
= $\sqrt{24^2+10^2}$
= $\sqrt{576+100}$
= $\sqrt{676}$
= $26$ m
Hence, the correct answer is 26 m.
