Question

Answer

Eadt

Answer

Explanation:
To determine the direction in which Mohit is now from the initial point, we need to analyze the given information step by step.

Step 1: Mohit walks 30 m towards the East.
This means that Mohit moves 30 m in the East direction from the initial point. Let's mark this direction as 'E'.

Step 2: Mohit takes a right turn and walks 50 m.
Since Mohit takes a right turn, he will be moving in the South direction from his current position. Let's mark this direction as 'S'. Mohit walks 50 m in the South direction.

Step 3: Mohit takes a left turn and walks 30 m.
Since Mohit takes a left turn, he will be moving in the East direction from his current position. Let's mark this direction as 'E'. Mohit walks 30 m in the East direction.

Now, let's analyze the final position of Mohit.

Final Position:
From the initial point, Mohit moves 30 m East, then takes a right turn and moves 50 m South, and finally takes a left turn and moves 30 m East.

So, the final position of Mohit can be represented as:
30 m East + 50 m South + 30 m East

Net Displacement:
To find the net displacement, we need to add the displacements in the East and South directions separately.

Displacement in the East direction = 30 m + 30 m = 60 m (East)
Displacement in the South direction = 50 m (South)

So, the net displacement of Mohit is 60 m East and 50 m South.

Direction from Initial Point:
To determine the direction from the initial point, we need to consider the net displacement. Mohit has a net displacement of 60 m East and 50 m South.

Therefore, Mohit is now in the South-East direction from the initial point.

Hence, the correct answer is option C - South-East.
