An ant goes 3 cm forward then goes 2 cm backwards and then finally 5 cm forward. What is the final position of the ant if the initial position of the ant is shown on the scale?

The correct option is C

8 cm

Initial position of the ant = 2 cm

Ant goes 3 cm forward = 2 cm + 3 cm = 5 cm

Ant goes 2 cm backward = 5 cm - 2 cm = 3 cm

Finally, the ant goes 5 cm forward = 3 cm + 5 cm = 8 cm

$\therefore$ The final position of the ant is 8 cm
