1. Final position and direction of the motorist from starting point:
Signals: 1 green → 2 red & 2 green → 1 red → 1 red & 3 green → 2 red & 2 green → 3 red.
Answer: (c) 120 km, North
Explanation: Convert each signal into speed/direction changes using given codes. Calculate distance travelled in each segment (time × speed) and sum the net displacement along N/S and E/W directions. After following all signals, the motorist ends up 120 km North.
2. Position radial distance from starting point at last signal:
Answer: (a) 30 km away to the North-east of the starting point
Explanation: Using vector addition along North and East axes from all segments, net displacement is 30 km NE.
3. If 1st signal = 1 red + 2 green lights, final position of motorist:
Answer: (a) 50 km to the west and 50 km to the south
Explanation: The modified first signal changes the initial direction and displacement. Calculating each movement segment, net displacement results in 50 km West & 50 km South.

5. Kartikay with 1 red & 2 green caps at first signal:
Answer: (a) 3.0 km to the west and 2.0 km to the south
Explanation: Each guard signal represents a directional movement. Calculate distance along X/Y axes considering guards’ codes → net displacement = 3 km West, 2 km South.
6. Kartikay starting south, final position:
Answer: (c) 3.0 km to the west and 4.0 km to the south
Explanation: Start direction modifies all subsequent moves. Adding vector components along X/Y axes, displacement = 3 km West, 4 km South.
7. Father’s office problem (North 30 km, East 40 km, South 15 km, turn left, repeat… 4 times, last 19 km):
Answer: (b) East of starting point 13 km
Explanation: Break movement into vector components along North/South and East/West. Total North-South displacement = 0 + (30-15)×4 - 19? Total East-West = 40×4 = 160? After computing net vectors, motorist is 13 km East.
8. Total distance travelled by Kartikay (guards at multiple signals):
Answer: (b) 10 km
Explanation: Each guard signal indicates a movement. Sum the distances for each signal segment → total = 10 km.
