Hi,
In the question 9 of week 3 graded assignment, Ajay describes his path from origin as follows.
“I walked three units towards East and then nine units towards North. And I repeated the same pattern thrice.”
Splitting the statement into smaller parts, we get
Ajay walked the path first(3 east, 9 north) --> 1 time
And then he repeated the same pattern thrice. --> 3 times
Total times he tracked the path will be 1 + 3 = 4 times
If he repeated the path 4 times, the final coordinates of Ajay would be (3,9) x 4 = (12,36).
On considering these coordinates, no options are coming correct..
Hence, I didn't marked any answer.
Post deadline, I see that the correct answers are chosen by taking coordinates of Ajay as (9,27). I doesn't makes any sense.
Please review this question.
I have attached the screenshot below for your reference.

I checked your solution pdf but they did no help.
You haven't mentioned anything at all about the number of times path taken.
Please explain it.

In the question it is mentioned that he repeated the process thrice (i.e. 3 times).
Hope it clarifies your doubt.

HE WALKED 3 UNIT EAST MEANS IN...... POSITIVE SIDE OF X AXIS AND 9 UNIT NORTH MEANS....... + Y AXIS ......AND THRICE MEANS TOWORDS.....X _9...... TOWORDS Y _27

I does not clears my doubt at all.
Seems like you didn't read the question and just pasting a template answer for all queries about this question.
“I walked three units towards East and then nine units towards North. And I repeated the same pattern thrice.”
Splitting the statement into smaller parts, we get
Ajay walked the path first(3 east, 9 north) --> 1 time
And then he repeated the same pattern thrice. --> 3 times
Total times he tracked the path will be 1 + 3 = 4 times
Let me explain again...
I walked three units towards East and then nine units towards North.
In the first statement , you already said that he walked this unit distance toward north and east("walked" is past tense. It represents work done in past).
And I repeated the same pattern thrice.
Second statement simply extends on the first one and says that the distance moved was then repeated three times.
Hence, the total times he tracked the path will be four not three.
It seems like since very less people are reporting this problem, you are not taking this seriously and providing non-sensical answers.
I need a valid explanation.

exactly same i would say..
It clearly says 'And I repeated the same...' which implies that part of work/process was done and then again same thing was done thrice because of usage of word 'AND' which is no less than addition of more process and if taken in logical way ,,,it implies 'LOGICAL AND'
I Would Request content support to plz consult with English language experts and do the needful
Many could be hanging for hall ticket because this ambiguous language type question in maths!!
Thank You!!

Why aren't you answering?
Just consider the following scenario,
You did your school homework.(past)
Teacher asked you to repeat the homework twice.
How many you did your homework now? 1 + 2 = 3 times.
Likewise, Ajay already completed a path on travelling it first time.
Then he repeated it thrice.
Hence, total will be four not three.
