Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

Ashok walked 50m towards South. Then he took right and walked 30m=> he is travelling towards East. Now, he is 50m South and 30m East from his starting position.

Then he took right and travelled 100m => Now he is walking towards North and is 50m North and 30m East from his starting position.

Finally, he took right again and travelled 30m => He is walking towards West and is 50m North from his starting position.

2) Answer (D)

The below are the different possible positions of the cities:

              B                     OR                   B                  OR                     B

F          H/D                                   F      D                                           H

                                                            H                           F               D

Hence H can be South-East of F or East of F or North-East.

=> 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 (C)

The required distance = 11 m

5) Answer (B)

The movement of Mohan is as shown in the diagram below. So, he is 30 + 20 = 50 metres from the original spot.

6) Answer (D)

The movement of Ashok is as shown below. So, he is North of the original spot by 100 – 50 = 50 metres.

7) Answer (A)

The movement of Q is as shown in the diagram below. So, he is at a distance of 40 metres from the original point.

8) Answer (D)

Based on the given information, the path traveled by lakshman could be derived as below.

 

The final point E is 8 km towards south of point A.

So the correct option to choose is D – 8 km towards south.

 

9) Answer (A)

Based on the given information, the path travelled by abhishek could be as below.

==> The final point is 3 km towards the east of point A.

So the correct option to choose is A – 3km towards the east.

10) Answer (C)

Based on the given information, the path travelled by sita could be as below.

Therefore the direction she finally faces is North-east.

11) Answer (D)

Based on the given information, the path travelled by Ravi could be as below.

Distance between A and C = $\sqrt{77^{2} + 36^{2}}$

So the correct option to choose is C – 85

12) Answer (A)

Based on the given information, the path travelled by karan could be derived as below

Therefore the distance between A and B = $\sqrt{12^{2} + 5^{2}}$ = 13

So the correct option to choose is A – 13 km.

13) Answer (B)

Based on the given information, the path travelled by Prajwal could be as below.

The distance between P and B = $\sqrt{5^{2} + 12^{2}}$ = 13 km.

So the correct option to choose is B-13 km.

14) Answer (A)

Based on the given information, the path travelled by Anup could be as below.

Distance between A and B = $\sqrt{8^2 + 15^2}$ = 17 km.

Anup faces west at point B.

So the correct option to choose is A.

15) Answer (C)

After walking 18m towards north from point A, lets say he reached point C. => AC = 18

After taking two consecutive left turns of 5m each, he reached point B.

=> CBA are collinear in that order.

=> BC = 5m

Now, distance between A and B = 18-5 = 13m

16) Answer (E)

Total number of children in the row = 25

Position of R from right end = 16th

Position of B from left end = 18th

=> Position of B from right end = (25 – 18) + 1 = 8th

$\therefore$ Number of children between R and B = (16 – 8) – 1 = 7

=> Ans – (E)

17) Answer (B)

W started from A and walked 40 metres towards West to reach point B. He took a left turn and walked 30 metres and reached C.

He then took a right turn and walked 20 metres to reach D and finally took a right turn and walked 30 metres reaching point E.

Distance between his final and starting position, AE = 40 + 20 = 60 metres

=> Ans – (B)

18) Answer (D)

Town R is to the South of town D. Town K is to the East of town R,

=> Town K is towards south-east of town D.

=> Ans – (D)

19) Answer (D)

The bus travels 8 km towards west from A and reaches point C, then it takes right turn and travel 5 km to reach point B.

Finally, the bus travelled east for 21 km and reached point E.

The bus must travel towards south direction to reach point D, distance = DE = 5 km.

=> Ans – (D)

20) Answer (A)

Point A is 30 m to the South of point B and Point C is 20 m to the East of point A. Point D is 15m to the south of point C.

Point D is exactly midway between points E and F and distance of the line is 40 m.

Point E is to west of point D, => F is to the east of D and distance between ED and DF is 20 m.

Point E is in south direction from point B. Distance BE = 30 + 15 = 45 m

=> Ans – (A)
