After walking 30 m, my friend turns left and goes 10m, then he turns right and goes 20 m and then turns right again and comes back to the road on which he had started walking. If we walk with the same speed, what is the distance between us at this point of time ?

b) 40 m

c) 50 m

d) 30 m

Answer: (a)

direction-and-distance-verbal-reasoning

Friend covers a total distance of

= (30 + 10 + 20 + 10) = 70 m

Distance between them

= 70 – 50 = 20 m

Question : 22

A child is looking for his mother. He went 80 meters in the East before turning to his right. He went 20 meters before turning to his right again to trace his mother at his married sister's house, 20 meters from this point. His mother was not there. From there he went 100 meters to his north where he met his mother who was shopping there in the market. How far did the son meet from the starting point?

a) 60 m

b) 140 m

c) 80 m

d) 100 m

Answer: (d)

AE = AB – EB

= 80 – 20 = 60m

EF = DF – DE

= 100 - 20 = 80m

direction-and-distance

Now in Δ AEF,

AF = $√{(AE)^2 + (EF)^2}$

= $√{60^2 + 80^2}$

= $√{3600 + 6400}$ = $√{10000}$ = 100m

a) 800 m

b) 200$√{2}$ m

c) 400$√{5}$ m

d) 200$√{10}$ m

e) None of these

Answer: (d)

direction-and-distance

Ravi starts from O and finished at C.

OC = $√{OD^2 + CD^2}$ = $√{OD^2 + (DA + AC)^2}$

= $√{(200)^2 + (100 + 500)^2}$ m

= $√{200 × 200 + 600 × 600}$ m

= 100 $√{4 + 36}$ m = 100 $√{40}$ m = 200 $√{10}$ m

[OD = AB = 200 m ; DA = OB = 100 m and AC = 500 m]
