In a playground five friends A, B, C, D and E are standing facing north in order as described below.

  1. B is standing at the right of D at distance of 50 m.
  2. A is standing in the south direction of B at 60 m distance.

Question : 4

Vijay Kumar walks from his house in the north direction a distance of 15 km. Then he turns west direction and walks straight 10 km. At last he turns south direction and walks straight 5 km. How far and in which direction is he from his house?

a) 20 km, North

b) 10 km, East

c) None of these

d) 5 km, West

Answer: (c)

direction-and-distance

DE = CB =10km

AE = AB - BE = 15 – 5 = 10km

(CD = BE)

AD = $√{DE^2 + AE^2}$ = $√{(10)^2 + (10)^2}$

= $√{100 +100}$ = $√{200}$ = $√{100 × 2}$ = 10$√{2}$

Thus it's 10$√{2}$ km in North-West direction.

Question : 5

If a boy, who stands near 'C' starts walking and reach to 'D' then B, A, E respectively. How many km he walk from C to E?

a) 170 m

b) 120 m

c) 230 m

d) 150 m

Answer: (c)

direction-and-distance

Required distance = 40 + 50 + 60 + 80 = 230 m

Question : 6

How many distance is between C and E?

a) 92 m

b) 53 m

c) 120 m

d) 78 m

Answer: (a)

direction-and-distance

EC = $√{(CB)^2 + (BE)^2}$ = $√{(90)^2 + (20)^2}$

= $√{8100 + 400}$ = $√{8500}$ = 92m (near about)
