find distance only section 6 Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

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 : 1

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

Question : 2

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

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Point A is 8 m west of point B.
  2. Point E is 2 m east of point F.
  3. Point G is 3 m east of point H.
  4. Point E is 3 m north of point of point D.
  5. Point C is 9 m west of point D.
  6. Point G is 9 m north of point F.
  7. Point C is 6 m south of point B.

Question : 3

Find distance AH.

a) $7√5 m$

b) $6√6 m$

c) $7√6 m$

d) $6√5 m$

e) None of these

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 = $√ (6^2 + 12^2 ) = 6√5 m$

Question : 4

A person starts from point G in east direction. Walks for 6 m, takes a right turn, now walks for 5 m. Now he takes a left turn, walks for 3 m, then after two consecutive right turns he reaches point E. Find the distance travelled by him to reach point E.

a) 25 m

b) 23 m

c) 27 m

d) 24 m

e) 28 m

Answer: (a)

6 + 5+ 3 + (9-5) + (3+4) = 25 m
