Solution : Vectors on Board

For Best Experience, View on Desktop/Laptop

  • As mentioned in the problem statement description, this problem is designed to connect both of these beautiful subjects : Chess and Physics. So, having a problem which needs just the basics of the subject was required.

So, from the physics side, we have Vectors  – the basic concept in high school Physics while from chess side we need to learn just the Chess Notations. 

In part 1 or (a),

We learn the procedure to calculate the displacement vector. This can be achieved by 2 methods – One is quite quick than the other. So I am just terming it as ‘Quick Method‘ while the second one is the ‘Polygon law of Vector Addition‘. 

In part-2 or (b) :

We try to answer the question by changing the position of origins. 

Overall, I see this as a ‘fun’ problem and not a very calculation intensive problem. So, just Chill and Solve the problem !!
