Question : 17

Jai Prakash started walking towards south from the point A, walked 20 m and reached a point B, Again, he turned left and walked 20 m and reached a point C. Now he turned 45° anticlockwise, walked a distance of 20 √2 m and reached a point D. What approximately is the shortest distance between the point A and D?

a) 30 m

b) 40$√{2}$ m

c) Can't say

d) 40 m

Answer: (d)

direction-and-distance

Here, AC = $√{20^2 + 20^2} = 20$√{2}$ m

Since AB = BC

∴ ∠ACB = ∠BAC = 45°

∴ ∠ACD = 90°

Now,

AD2 = AC2 + CD2

= 800 + 800 = 1600

∴ AD = $√{1600}$ = 40 m

Question : 18

A man walks 1 km towards East and then he turns to South and walks 5 km. Again he turns to East and walks 2 km, after this he turns to North and walks 9 km. Now, how far is he from his starting point ?

a) 5 km

b) 4 km

c) 3 km

d) 7 km

Answer: (a)

direction-and-distance-verbal-reasoning

The movements of the man are as shown in the figure,

(A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E)

Clearly, DF = BC = 5km.

EF = (DE - DF) = (9 - 5)km = 4km.

BF = CD = 2km

AF =AB + BF = AB + CD = (1 + 2)km = 3km.

∴ Man's distance from initial position A

= AE = $√{AF^2 + FE^2}$

= $√{3^2 + 4^2}$

= $√25$ = 5m.

Question : 19

Next she walked 4 m and turned to her right again. Next she walked 15 m and turned to her right again and stopped at point B after walking 7 m. Find distance AB.

a) $3√21 m$

b) $2√19 m$

c) $2√22 m$

d) $4√17 m$

e) None of these

Answer: (e)

AB = $√(8^2 +2^2 )= 2√17 m$
