So, he has to travel a distance of 8 – 3 = 5 km north to reach his starting point.<\/p>\n 11)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n Consider the southeast direction. After the 45 degree clockwise rotation, it points to south. After the 135 degree anti-clockwise rotation, it points to northeast. After the 270 degree clockwise rotation, it points to northwest direction.<\/p>\n 12)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n iven, South West is East. So we draw a new direction chart in which South-West is marked as East. Next, we mark West which is opposite East and then North which is 90$^0$ anti-clockwise of East. After that South is marked which is opposite to North. Once we know the main 4 directions, the 4 sub directions are marked as normal.<\/p>\n From the figure, we can see that South-East will become North.<\/p>\n 13)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n Since the initial direction of the man is not given, assume the initial direction as East. By following the directions given in the question the man will be facing South at the end. The figure is as follows:<\/p>\n But the final direction of the man is given as North East. Thus, the direction we have taken as South is the actual North-East. From the figure given below we can see that the initial direction South which we have considered is actually the North-West direction.<\/p>\n 14)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n iven, South West is East.

\nNOTE : Facing the same direction means if one faces the centre then the other also faces the centre and viceversa. Facing the opposite directions means if one faces the centre then the other faces outside and viceversa. Immediate neighbours face the same direction means if one neighbour faces the centre then the other neighbour also faces the centre and viceversa. Immediate neighbours face the opposite directions means if one neighbour faces the centre then the other neighbour faces outside and viceversa. P sits to the immediate right of C. Only three persons sit between P and A. R sits third to the left of A. Neither A nor C is an immediate neighbour of B. D sits to the immediate left of B. Q sits second to the left of D. The immediate neighbours of A face the same direction. The immediate neighbours of B face opposite directions. S sits second to the right of P. The immediate neighbours of C face the same direction. S faces outside<\/p>\n

\nThe shortest path is along the dotted line.
\nHorizantal distance = 2-1 = 1 km
\nVertical distance = 2+1 = 3 km
\nUsing Pythagoras theorem we can find out the length of the hypotenuse which is the shortest distance.
\nThis shortest distance will be $\\sqrt{3^2 + 1^2}=\\sqrt{10}$<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/directions%201.png\")
