  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

    Mohan was facing east. he walked 4 km forward and then after turning to his right walked 3 km. Again he turned to his right and walked 4 km. After this he turned back. Which direction, was he facing at that time?

    Solution

    According to given data let 's make Mohan walking route direction;

    Before turning back his face was in West direction.

    After turned back his face should be in 'East 'direction.

    Hence, the correct answer is  "East ".

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

    X and Y started from a fixed point. X moves towards North and after walking 3 km turns to his right and covers 4 km. Y moves towards West and walks 5 km and then turns to his right and walks 3 km. How far X and Y are from each other?

    Solution

    According to the question, we have to make a diagram as drawn below to show the direction and the distance travelled by the person.

    Here, Point M and point K is final position of X and Y respectively and point M is west of point K. So the shortest distance between X final position and Y 's final position is
    4 km + 5 km = 9 km
    Hence, the correct answer is 9 Km

  • Question 3
    1 / -0.25

    Two buses start from the opposite points of a main road, 150 km apart. The first bus runs for 25 km and takes a right turn and then runs for 15 km. It then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 35 km along the main road. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point ? 

    Solution

    Given:

    Distance between starting points = 150 km.

    Journey of first bus = 25 km, then  takes a  right turn and then runs for 15 km, then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road.

    Journey of second bus = 35 km along the main road

    Calculations:

    Let first bus started from point X.

    After running for 25 km, it reaches point A.

    ⇒Then took  a  right turn and then runs for 15 km.

    ⇒After reaching point B, turns left and runs parallel to main road for  another 25 km.

    ⇒After reaching point C, takes the left turn and reached the main road at point D.

    Total distance covered by the first bus along main road = 25 + 25 = 50 km  

    Let second bus started from point Y.

    ⇒Due to a minor breakdown, the second bus has run only 35 km along the main road and reached point E..

    Total distance covered by the second  bus along main road = 35 km

    Distance between both the buses = 150 - (50 + 35)

    ⇒150 - 85

    ⇒65 km

    ∴The distance between the two buses at the end is 65 km.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0.25

    A direction pole was situated on the crossing. Due to an accident the pole turned in such a manner that the pointer which was showing East, started showing South. One traveler went to the wrong direction thinking it to be West. In what direction actually he was travelling?

    Solution

    According to question,

    Figure (a): Shows the standard directions.

    Figure (b): Due to accident the pointer started showing east as south.

    From the statements given in directions we can draw a figure (b) which is as follows:

    From fig.(b), the direction of west shown by the pointer is actually south in fig. (a). Hence, option D is correct.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0.25

    One morning after sunrise, Sunil was standing facing a pole. The shadow of the pole fell exactly to his right, which direction was he facing?

    Solution

    One morning after sunrise, Sunil was standing facing a pole. The shadow of the pole fell exactly to his right. 

    Clearly, Sunil is facing South direction.

    Hence, 'South 'is the correct answer.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0.25

    One morning after sunrise, Bikram and Shailash were standing in a town with their backs towards each other. Bikram ’s shadow fell exactly towards left hand side. Which direction was Shailash facing?

    Solution

    Sun rises in the East. It is given that "one morning after sunrise ", therefore, we will mark Sun in the East direction in the below diagram.

    When Sun is in the East direction, shadow of an object falls in the West. 

    It is given that Bikram 's shadow falls towards left hand side. This means Bikram 's left hand side should be West direction.

    In the question above pattern followed is,

    Therefore the correct answer is  Option D South.

    Sudha wants to go to the university and starts from her home which is in the East and comes to a crossing. The road to her left ends in a theatre. Straight ahead lies the hospital. In which direction is the university?

    Solution

    To determine the direction of the university from Sudha 's starting point:

    • Sudha starts from her home, which is in the East .
    • At the crossing, the road to the left leads to a theatre.
    • Going straight ahead leads to a hospital.

    Vipul moves towards South-East a distance of 14m, then he moves towards west and travels a distance of 28m. From here, he moves towards North-West a distance of 14m and finally he moves a distance of 8m towards east and comes to a half. How far is he from the starting point where he stood.

    Solution

    The direction diagram for the path traveled by Vipul is shown below along with the directions:


    As can be seen from the diagram above, the distance between the starting and the end points is 28 - 8 = 20 m.
    Therefore, the correct answer is 20 m.

    Solution

    Given

    1. Rohan walked 40 metres towards North, took a left turn and walked 20 metres.

    2. He again took a left turn and walked 40 metres.

    According to the given information, we get the following figure,

    Therefore, above figure clearly shows the distance from B  to A is 20 metres

    The direction of B with respect to A is West.

    Hence, "20 metres West "  is the correct answer.
