=> Data Inadequate

3) Answer (B)

According to the question, way of riding of the person is as follow.

As per the question, D is 1km West of A, therefore AB=DC=2km.

4) Answer (E)

The driver drove 5 km west, 5 km east, 8 km south and 2+1 = 3 km north. So, he has to travel a distance of 8 – 3 = 5 km north to reach his starting point.

The required distance = 11 m

6) Answer (E)

According to the above diagram, distance between F and A will be 5 m. Hence, answer will be E

7) Answer (A)

As we can see in the above diagram that distance between G and A will be 8-(11-6) = 3 m

Hence, answer will be A

8) Answer (B)
