On an open ground, a motorist follows a track that turns to his left by an angle of 
after every 500 m. Starting from a given turn, the displacement of the motorist at the third turn is
A
500 m
B
C
1000 m
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The path followed by the motorist is a regular hexagon ABCDEF of side length 500m as shown in the figure. Let the motorist starts from A and taken the third turn at D.
Therefore, the magnitude of this displacement is
AD = AG + GD = 50 m + 500 m = 1000 m
