Study the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A country has the following types of traffic signals.

  1. 3 green lights = go at 60 kmph speed
  2. 2 green lights = go at 40 kmph speed
  3. 1 green light = go at 20 kmph speed
  4. 3 red lights = stop
  5. 2 red lights = turn left
  6. 1 red light = turn right

A person starts driving from a point in West direction and he encounters the following traffic signals:

  1. Starting point – 1 green light;
  2. After 15 minutes, 1st signal – 2 red & 2 green lights;
  3. After 24 minutes, 2nd signal – 1 red & 3 green lights;
  4. After 45 minutes, 3rd signal – 1 red & 2 green lights;
  5. After 18 minutes, 4th signal – 3 red lights;

Q-5)   Find the total distance he covered up to the last signal.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

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, 1 red & 3 green lights, means turned right and drove at 60 km/hr,

so covered$ 45/60$ x 60 = 45 Km

Next – 1 red & 2 green lights, turned right and 18 minutes at 40 km/hr

So covered = $18/60$ x 40 = 12 km. Next 3 red lights so stopped

So total distance = 5+16+45+12 = 78 km

  4. After 45 minutes, 3rd signal – 1 red & 2 green lights;
  5. After 18 minutes, 4th signal – 3 red lights;

Q-6)   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)

Explanation:

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-10)   Kishankant walks 10 km towards North. From there, he walks 6km towards South. Then he walks 3km towards East. How far and in which direction is he with reference to his starting point ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

The movements of Kishankant are as shown in Fig. (A to B, B to C and C to D).

AC = (AB-BC) =(10–6) km = 4 km

Kishankant's distance from starting point A

= AD = $√{AC^2 + CD^2}$ = $√{4^2 + 3^2}$ = $√{25}$ = 5 km

So Kishankant is 5 km to the North-east of his starting point.
