CMAT Directions Questions

The black dot denotes the initial position of the cat, and the path it followed is mapped out. The arrow head indicates the position of the cat before every turn, and the direction of the arrow head is the direction in which the cat is looking at. Finally we see the arrow head is pointing towards North, which means the cat is facing towards NORTH.

After turning left for the second time, the person would be walking in a south direction. Walking 40 m north and then 40 meters south, the vertical displacement would be zero. 

The only net movement would be the person's 20-meter movement to his left, which is in the west direction. 

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer. 

The given statements can be represented diagrammatically as follows,

From the diagram, it is clear that X must have been walking in the north direction at the end. 

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

When it is sunrise: Ajay is facing north. This is because shadows cast at sunrise point west, and since Vijay's shadow is towards Ajay's right, it indicates Ajay is facing north (and Vijay would be facing south). 

However, the important thing to notice is that Vijay's shadow is towards the right hand of Ajay, which, if Ajay faces north, means the shadow is pointing east (since the sun rises in the east). This aligns with the statement that the shadow is on Ajay's right.

Let Miss Lilly start moving towards North direction. So the diagram would be as follows:

According to this diagram, Lilly is currently in the North - East Direction from her house. 

If we tilt to make the current direction of Lilly in North - West direction, we get the following diagram,

Hence, Lilly would have initially moved in in the West Direction.
