The following question based on direction & distance sense test topic of verbal reasoning
(a) 21 km, West
(b) 15 km, North - East
(c) 20 km, North - West
(d) 26 km, North - West
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
According to the question, the direction diagram will be as follows.
Now, AB = 15 km, CD = BF = 1 km
AF = AB + BF = 15 + 1 = 16 km
DE = 20 km DF = BC = 8 km
EF = DE - DF = 20 - 8 = 12 km
Therefore, Required distance, AE = $√{(AF)^2 + (EF)^2}$
= $√{(16)^2 + (12)^2}$
= $√{(256 + 144)}$ = √400 = 20 km
So, his office is 20 km North - West.

Also, E is to the East of A.

d) 6 km towards West
e) 5 km towards North
Answer »Answer: (e)
According to the question, the direction diagram will be as follows.
Now, BC = DE = 5 km, CD = BE = 8 km AB = 2 km, EF = 1 km
Therefore, Required distance, AF = BE - (AB + EF) = 8 - (2 + 1) = 8 - 3 = 5 km.
From the direction diagram, it is clear that the bus is present finally in the South direction of school.
So, the driver needs to drive 5 km towards North direction to reach the school.
Question : 5
Starting from a point, raju walked 12 ft North, he turned right and walked 10 ft, he again turned right and walked 12 ft, then the turned left and walked 5 ft. How far is he now and in which direction from the starting point?

According to the questions, the direction diagram is as follows.
AB = CD = 12 ft
BC = AD = 10 ft
DE = 5 ft
Therefore, Required distance, AE = AD + DE = 10 + 5 = 15 ft
Hence at finishing point E, Raju is 15 ft East from starting point A.
Question : 6

e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (e)
According to the question, the direction diagram will be as follows.
A = Starting point, E = Finishing point DE = 15 m,
BC = FD = 20 m FE = FD + DE = 20 + 15 = 35 m
AF = BF - AB = 25 - 10 = 15 m
Therefore, Required distance, AE = $√{(AF)^2 + (FE)^2}$
= $√((15)^2 + (35)^2)$
= $√{(225 + 1225)}$
= $√1450$
and the direction is South-East
