Four persons A, B, C and D walk to their homes from a junction in different directions. A goes 7 m north to reach point P. He turns right and goes 11 m to reach point R. Then he turns left and goes 14 m to reach point S. After that he turns right and goes 20 m to reach point Q. Finally, he takes a right and goes 18 m to reach his home. B goes 9 m north to reach point M. Then he takes a left and goes 26 m to reach point T. After that he takes two consecutive right turns and goes 9 m and 15 m to reach points O and N respectively. Finally, he takes a left and goes 8 m to reach his home. D goes 18 m south to reach point E. Then he takes a right and goes 13 m to reach point G. He takes a left and goes 14 m to reach point I. Then he takes two consecutive right turns and goes 6 m and 17 m to reach points H and F respectively. Finally, he goes 12 m west to reach his home. C goes 9 m east to reach point U. Then he takes a right and walks 27 m to reach point X. After that he takes a left turn and goes 15 m to reach point W. Then he takes a left and goes 11 m to reach point V. Finally, he goes 14 m east to reach his home. The total distance from point E to point F is the same as the total distance from point ___ and point ___.
- S and P
- M and N
- U and W
- G and D
Correct answer: M and N
Solution
By tracking each person's movements from the junction, we can determine the coordinates of the relevant points. The distance between E and F matches the distance between M and N. Therefore, the correct option is M and N.
