Practice Direction distance test - verbal reasoning Online Quiz (set-2) For All Competitive Exams
Q-1) A man leaves for his office from his house. He walks towards East. After moving a distance of 20 m, he turns South and walks 10 m. Then he walks 35 m towards the West and further 5 m towards the North. He then turns towards East and walks 15 m. What is the straight distance (in metres) between his initial and final positions?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
The movements of the man from A to F are as shown in Fig. 13
Clearly, DC = AB + EF. Therefore, F in line with A.
Also, AF = (BC - DE) = 5 m.
So, the man is 5 metres away from his initial position.

Q-6) Morning time, Sohan goes towards sun for a distance of 50m. Then he turns right twice and goes straight 40m and 20m respectively. At last he turns once more right and goes straight for the distance of 40m. How far is he now from his starting point ?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
XD = XA – AD = 50 – 20 = 30m
Q-7) A man walks 1 km towards East and then he turns to his south and walks 5 km. Again he turns to East and walks 2 km, after this he turns to North and walks 9 km. Now, how far is he from his starting point ?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
The movements of the man are as shown in Figure (A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E).
Clearly, DF = BC = 5 km.
EF = (DE – DF) = (9 – 5) km = 4 km
BF = CD = 2 km
AF = AB + BF = AB + CD = (1 + 2) km = 3 km.
Man’s distance from starting point A
$√{AF^2 + EF^2}$
= $√{3^2 + 4^2}$ = √25 = 5 km
Q-8) Dinesh travels from a point A 8 km towards B eastwards and turns right and walks 12 km to C, turns again right and walks 4 km to a point D, again turns right and travels 8 km to E. From E he turns left and walks to F 4 km. Now how far is he from starting pont?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
AF = 4 Km.
Q-9) From my house I walked 5 km towards North. I turned right and walked 3 km. Againt I went one km to the south. How far am I from my house?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Required distance
AD = $√{AE^2 + DE^2}$
= $√{4^2 + 3^2}$
= $√{16+ 9}$
= $√{25}$ = 5 km
Q-10) If the clock read 6.20 and if the minute hand points North-East, in which direction will the hour hand point?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
At 6.20 the minute hand points towards South-East. It means the clock has been rotated through 90° anticlockwise and hence it points North-East.
Thus, the hour hand will point towards East.
DIRECTIONS:
Study the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow.
A country has the following types of traffic signals.
- 3 green lights = go at 60 kmph speed
- 2 green lights = go at 40 kmph speed
- 1 green light = go at 20 kmph speed
- 3 red lights = stop
- 2 red lights = turn left
- 1 red light = turn right
A person starts driving from a point in West direction and he encounters the following traffic signals:
- Starting point – 1 green light;
- After 15 minutes, 1st signal – 2 red & 2 green lights;
- After 24 minutes, 2nd signal – 1 red & 3 green lights;
- After 45 minutes, 3rd signal – 1 red & 2 green lights;
- After 18 minutes, 4th signal – 3 red lights;
Q-11) If after the first signal, 2nd signal: 2 red and 2 green lights, and 3rd signal: 1 red and 3 green lights, then what is the distance covered up to the last signal?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
Starting in West direction: 1 green light means 20 km/hr
So 15 minutes at 20km/hr, means covers $15/60$ x 20 = 5 km
Next, 2 red & 2 green lights, means turn left and 24 minutes at 40 km/hr
So now distance covered = $24/60$ x 40 = 16 km
Now for next 45 minutes, 2 red & 2 green lights, means turned left and drove at 40 km/hr,
so covered $45/60$ x 40 = 30 Km
Next – 1 red & 3 green lights, turned right and 18 minutes at 60 km/hr
So covered = $18/60$ x 60 = 18 km. Next 3 red lights so stopped
So total distance = 5+16+30+18 = 69 km
Q-12) A boy runs 20 m towards East and turns to right, runs 10 m and turns to right, runs 9 m and again turns to left, runs 5 m and turns to left, runs 12 m and finally turns to left and runs 6 m. Now, which direction is the boy facing?

(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Required distance
= AF = BF– AB
= 15 – 7 = 8 km
