Question 1: In a row of children facing NORTH Ritesh is twelfth from the left end .Sudhir who is twenty second from right end is fourth to the right of Ritesh . Total how many children are there in the row?

a) 35

b) 36

c) 37

d) 34

e) None of these

Solution:

Ritesh is 12th from the left end. Sudhir is fourth to the right of Ritesh. Hence, Sudhir is 16th from the left end. And also Sudhir is 22nd from the right end. There are 11 people to the left of Ritesh, 21 people to the right of Sudhir and 3 people in between Ritesh and Sudhir. The total number of children’s in the row is: 11 + 3 + 21 + 2(including both Ritesh and Sudhir) = 37. Hence, option C is correct.

Question 2: Vikas walked 9 km towards North, took a left turn and walked 5 km and again took a left turn and walked 9 km and stopped walking. Towards which direction was he facing when he stopped walking?

a) South

b) South-West

c) South-East

d) Cannot be determined

e) None of these

Solution:

Let Vikas started from point A and head north for 9 km to reach B, then he turned left and travelled west for 5 km before reaching C, again he turned left and travelled for 9 km and finally stopped at point D.

Thus, he is facing south direction when he stopped walking.

=> Ans – (A)

Question 3: In a row of children facing North, Ritesh is twelfth from the left end. Sudhir who is twenty-second from the right end is fourth to the right of Ritesh. Total how many children are there in the row ?

a) 35

b) 36

c) 37

d) 34

e) None of these

Solution:

Ritesh’s position from left end = 12th

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

Question 4: Veena walked 5 m towards north, took a left turn and walked 7 m. She took a left turn again and walked 8 m before taking a left turn and walking 7 m. She then took a final left turn and walked 1 m before stopping. How far is Veena from the starting point?

a) 3m

b) 6 m

c) 4 m

d) 2 m

e) 7 m

Solution:

Let Veena started from point A, walked 5 m towards north and reached point B.

Then he took a left turn and reached point C after walking 7 m and then after point D after another left turn of 8 m.

His final position is point F.

Thus, distance AF = 8 – 5 – 1 = 2 m

=> Ans – (D)

Question 5: A person starts from his house and moves towards the market. He walks 40 metres towards south and takes a right turn. After walking 30 metres he takes a left turn and walks 20 metres.

Question 11: W walked 40 metres towards West. took a left turn and walked 30 metres. He then took a right turn and walked 20 metres. He again took a right turn and walked 30 metres. How far was he from the starting point ?

a) 70 metres

b) 60 metres

c) 90 metres

d) Cannot be determined

e) None of these

Solution:

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)

Question 12: In a row of twenty-five children facing South R is sixteenth from the right end and B is eighteenth from the left end. How many children are there between R and B?

a) 2

b) 3

c) 4

e) None of these

Solution:

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)

Question 13: Manoj started from Point A and walked 18 m towards North. He then took two consecutive left turns and walked 5 m after taking each turn, He again took a left turn, walked 5 m and reached point B. How far is point A from point B ?

a) 15 m

b) 5 m

c) 13 m

d) 23 m

e) Cannot be determined

Solution:

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

Question 14: Anup starts from point A and travels towards north for 8 km and then he turns to his left and travels for 15 km to reach point B.
What is the distance between A and B and the direction to which Anup is finally facing?

a) 17 km, West.

b) 23 km, East.

c) 19 km, West.

d) 21 km, East.

e) None of these

Solution:

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.

What is the distance between P and B?

a) 12 km

b) 13 km

c) 9 km

d) 11 km

e) None of these

Solution:

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.

Question 16: Karan starts from point A and travels towards north for 5 km. He then takes a right turn and travels for 7 km. He then takes a left turn and travels another 7 km. Finally he takes another left turn and travels for 2 km arriving at a point B.
What is the distance between point A and B?

a) 13 km

b) 12.33 km

c) 12 km

d) 10 km

e) None of these

Solution:
