Required answer: DA + SA = 10 + 14 = 24m
8. (b): The movements of the man from A to F are as
shown in Figure

Above directions shows the two possibilities. Clearly, DC = AB + EF
East \ F is in line with A
4. (c) First move to north direction, then turn right, Also, AF = (BC – DE) = 5m.
again turn right without moving from the position So, the man is 5 metres away from his initial position.
than turn left and move. Follow the figure
