Sudhir is fourth to the right of Ritesh, => Sudhir’s position from left end = 12 + 4 = 16th

Also, Sudhir’s position from right end = 22nd

=> Total number of children in the row = 16 + 22 – 1

= 37

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
R is 15m west of Q. J is 6m north of Q. W is 2m west of J. L is 10m south of W. K is 6m west of L.

Question 11: In which direction is R with respect to J?

a) West

b) South east

c) North east

d) North

e) South west

11) Answer (E)

Solution:

L is 10 m south of W, => WZ = 6m and ZL = 4 m

Similarly, Since, KL = 6 m, => RY = 7 m

and WJ = ZQ = 2 m

Clearly, R is in south west direction with respect to J.

=> Ans – (E)

Question 12: Kabir walks 10m towards south from Point J, takes a right turn and walks for 3m. How far will he be from Point K?

a) 4 m

b) 10 m

c) 5 m

d) 6 m

e) 9 m

12) Answer (C)

Solution:

L is 10 m south of W, => WZ = 6m and ZL = 4 m

Similarly, Since, KL = 6 m, => RY = 7 m

and WJ = ZQ = 2 m

Kabir walks 10 m south of J, => he is 2 m to the east of L.

Then he takes right turn and walks 3 m, => he is 1 m to the west of L.

Distance between Kabir and point K = 6 – 1 = 5 m

=> Ans – (C)

Question 13: If F is 4m to the south of R and V is 2m east of K, how far is Point F from Point V?

a) 8m

b) 10 m

c) 5m

d) 9m

e) 4m

13) Answer (D)

Solution:

L is 10 m south of W, => WZ = 6m and ZL = 4 m

Similarly, Since, KL = 6 m, => RY = 7 m

and WJ = ZQ = 2 m

If F is 4 m to the south of R, => F is 7 m to the west of K.

and V is 2 m to the east of K.

=> Distance between V and K = 7 + 2 = 9 m

=> Ans – (D)

a) Either ‘mx‘ or ‘Jo’

b) Either ‘Jo’ or ‘kj‘

c) kJ

d) mx

e) st

14) Answer (E)

Solution:

Question 15: Four of the following five are alike in a certain way (based on their positions of alphabet in the English alphabetical series) and hence form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?

a) RQT

b) NPL

c) FHD

d) KMI

e) WYU

15) Answer (A)

Solution:

The pattern here followed is : $(x) , (x+2) , (x-2)$, where $x$ is any alphabet.

NPL -> N+2 = P and N-2 = L, => NPL

Similar pattern is followed by FHD, KMI, WYU.

But in RQT, -> R+2 = T and R-2 = P.

It should be RTP. Hence it is the odd one

=> Ans – (A)
