Solution

To analyze Preethi's movements, we can break down her journey step by step, keeping track of her position using a coordinate system where East is positive x-direction, North is positive y-direction, West is negative x-direction, and South is negative y-direction.

1. Preethi's Initial Position

Let's assume Preethi starts at the origin:

  • Initial Position: (0,0) (0, 0)

2. Movement 1: Walking East

  • Preethi walks 2 km East.
  • New Position: (0+2,0)=(2,0) (0 + 2, 0) = (2, 0)

3. Movement 2: Turning Right and Running South

  • Preethi turns right (now facing South) and runs 3 km South.
  • New Position: (2,0+(3))=(2,3) (2, 0 + (-3)) = (2, -3)

4. Movement 3: Turning Again and Walking West

  • Finally, Preethi turns again (now facing West) and walks 2 km.
  • New Position: (22,3)=(0,3) (2 - 2, -3) = (0, -3)

5. Final Position and Summary

At the end of her journey, Preethi's final position is: Final Position: (0,3) \mathbf{Final\ Position:\ (0, -3)}

Final Answer

Preethi ends up at the coordinate (0,3) (0, -3) .
