Answers and Explanations
Explanation -
1. The distance between any two house was less than 80 km.
The minimum distance asked in the question is 85 km
So, the distance between two house cannot be 5 km as (5 + 80 = 85) which is not possible.
J's house was 135 km to the friend who likes scale. The friend who likes scale was 85 km away from M's house.
This is possible in only one condition when distance between J and the friened who likes scale is successive integral of 5 as (40-45-50).

2. The friend who likes pen was 115 km to the left of L,s house.

3. The friend who likes board was the neighbour of L,s house. I,s house was third to the left of the friend who likes board.

4. The friend who likes book was to the immediate left of the friend who likes pen.

5. K,s house was exactly between O,S house and the friend who likes table. The friend who likes eraser had house at one of the extreme ends. O did not like pencil.

Directions (1 – 5): Study the following information and answer the given questions.

M % N means M is to the right of N at a distance of 1m. M @ N means M is to the left of N at a distance of 1m. M $ N means M is to the north of N at a distance of 1m. M # N means M is to the south of N at a distance of 1m. The persons are facing the south direction.

1. A % B # C % D, then D is in which direction with respect to A?

A. North B. South-East C. North-West D. South-West

Answer - Option C
Explanation -

Hence, D is in north-wesr direction with respect to A
2. A # B % C $ D, then D is in which direction with respect to A?

A. North B. North-East C. South D. West

Answer - Option D
Explanation -

Hence, D is in west direction with respect to A
3. E $ F @ G # H, then H is in which direction with respect to E and what is distance between H and E?

A. North, 1m B. South, 1m C. South-East, 1m D. East, 1m

Answer - Option D
Explanation -

Hence, H is i east direction with respect to E and the distance between H and E is 1m
4. A # B % C $ D % E, then E is in which direction with respect to B?

A. North B. South-West C. North-East D. South-East

Answer - Option B

1. Rekha started from point A in south direction. After walking for 4 m she turned to her right and walked 5 m. Now she turned to her left and walked 3 m after which she turned to her right. Now she walked 4 m and turned to her right again and walked 15 m. Now finally she turned to her right and after walking for 7 m, she stopped at point B. What is the distance AB?

A. [latex]\sqrt {34}[/latex] m B. 34 m C. 2 [latex]\sqrt {17}[/latex] m D. 17 m

Answer - Option C
Explanation -

OB = 15 – 7 = 8, OA = 9 – 7 = 2
[latex]\sqrt {{8}^{2} + {2}^{2}} 2 \sqrt {17}[/latex] m
2. Shrutika started from point P. after walking for some time, she turned to her right and continued walked, then after some time turned to her right again. Now walking for some distance she turned to her left and after this finally to her right. If now she is walking in west direction, in which direction did she started her journey from point P?

A. South B. East C. North D. West

Answer - Option B
Explanation -
For this, start from back:
She is walking in west and before that she turned to her right, so she must be travelling in south before turning right.
Now she was walking in south and before that she turned to her left, so she must be travelling in west before turning left.
Now she was walking in west and before that she turned to her right, so she must be travelling in south before turning right.
Now she was walking in south and before that she turned to her right, so she must be travelling in east before turning right.
At last east direction.
3. Ruhani started walking in east and walked 12 m. Now she turned south and walked 4 m and turned to her left and walked 3 m. Now she turned south and walked 7 m. Now to her left and walked 7 m. Now she turned south and walked 8 m, then to west and walked 5 m. Now to her left walking 3 m and finally turned right and walked 3 m. Find the distance from where she started walking.

A. 30 m B. 25 m C. 20 m D. 22 m

Answer - Option D
Explanation -

4 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 22 m
4. Ashika started walking in south direction and walked 3 m after which she turned to her left. Now she walked 2 m and turned to her right and walked 5 m. now she turned to her right again and walked 6 m and turned to her left and walked another 6 m. Now finally she walked for 10 m after turning to her left. Find her distance from the starting point?

A. 2 [latex]\sqrt {58}[/latex] m B. 116 m C. 56 m D. 40 m

Answer - Option A
Explanation -

AB = [latex]\sqrt {{14}^{2} + {6}^{2}}[/latex]
5. Point P is in west of point Q. Point Q is in south of point R. Point T is in south-east direction of point P and also in north direction of point V. What is the direction of point R with respect to point V?

A. north B. north - west C. north-east D. Cannot be determined

Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Since we don’t know the distances between the points, so it cannot be determined that point T will be west of point Q or will east of point Q. So after it direction of R with respect to T or V can’t be determined.
