The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Vertical distance = GF – (CB – ED) = 9 – (6-3) = 6

Horizontal distance = AB + (CD – (HG + FE)) = 8 + (9 – (3+2) = 12

Required distance AH = $√ (6^2 + 12^2 ) = 6√5 m$

direction-and-distance-verbal-reasoning

The movements of Deepak are as shown in Figure.

Claerly, EB = DC = 40m.

∴ Deepak's distance from the starting point A

= (AB - EB) = (75 - 40)

= 35 m.

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Point B is 9 km east of point A.
  2. Point T is 6 km south of point B.
  3. Point S is 4 km west of point T.
  4. Point T is 8 km west of point G.

Question : 4

A person is standing on midpoint of line TG. Find his shortest distance from point B?

a) $5√14 km$

b) $6√3 km$

c) $3√15 km$

d) $2√13 km$

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

Let that point be Y. So Midpoint of TG means TY = $8/2$ = 4 km

So BY = $√(BT^2 + TY^2 ) = √ (6^2 + 4^2 ) = 2√13 km$

Question : 5

A person starts from point S, walks 3 km towards south and reaches point D. Next he takes two right turns and reaches point A. How much distance has he travelled?

a) 20 km

b) 17 km

c) 18 km

d) 14 km

e) 11 km

Answer: (c)

Let after first right turn he is at point K. Since after turn from K he reaches at point A so point K is in south of point A.

So he has travelled SD + DK + KA = 3 + (9-4) + (3+6) = 17 km
