Rahul walks 2/3 km from a place P towards east and them from there 11/6 km towards west. What is his position now from P?

Question

plz sir give answer of above question.

Answer 1

2/3 km = 4/6 km

 

Each tick on the number line represents 1/6 km.  From point P, move 4 ticks to the right (2/3 = 4/6 km east) to point a.  From point a, move 11 ticks to the left (11/6 km west) to point b.  You are at 4/6 - 11/6 = -7/6, or 7/6 (1 ¹/₆) km west of point P.

Answer 2

From point P Rahul went 2/3 km East.

(2/3)(2/2) = 4/6 km East

 

Rahul then turns around and goes 11/6 km West.

At 4/6 km he is back at point P.  He continues

West another 7/6 km and ends up 7/6 km West

of point P
