In the above picture, one small square is of size 1 km × 1 km. From the starting point O(0,0) Deepak
started to drive towards his home. He first drives 3km in left then he turned to his left and drove 2 km,
there he found a temple. He worshipped there and drove 6km in the left direction, there is a zoo and
from the zoo, he drives 2km on the right side, then he reached his home. From O Sanjay drove for his
