You're standing in the lobby of a huge building.

You go up 6 floors.

You stop and catch your breath.

You go down 13 floors.

Where do you end up ?

Step-by-step explanation:

At first it is in 14m position but position doesn't matter in displacement, similar case for time taken.

So at first it travels 6m in positive direction.

So displacement= 6m

Then it travels 13 in opposite or negative direction.

So displacement = 6 -13 m = -7 m

Hope it helps ya
