DIRECTIONS:

A country has the following types of traffic signals.

  1. 3 red lights = stop;
  2. 2 red lights = turn left;
  3. 3 green lights = go at 100 kmph speed;
  4. 1 red light = turn right;
  5. 1 green light = go at 20 kmph speed
  6. 2 green lights = go at 40 kmph speed

A motorist starts at a point on a road and follows all traffic signals literally. His car is heading towards the north. He encounters the following signals (the time mentioned in each case below is applicable after crossing the previous signal).

  1. Starting Point – 1 green light;
  2. After half an hour, 1st signal – 2 red & 2 green lights;
  3. After 15 minutes, 2nd signal – 1 red light;
  4. After half an hour, 3rd signal – 1 red & 3 green lights;
  5. After 24 minutes, 4th signal – 2 red & 2 green lights;
  6. After 15 minutes, 5th signal – 3 red lights

b) 30 km. to the west and 20 km. to the south.

c) 50 km. to the east and 40 km. to the north.

d) 30 km. to the west and 40 km. to the north.

Answer: (c)

For the case when 1st signal were 1 red and 2 green light, the surface diagram will be as given below.

direction-and-distance

TF = 50 km;

ST = 40 km

Considering the above figure, option c is correct, 50 km to the east and 40 km to the north.

Question : 7

What is the position radial distance of the motorist when he reaches the last signal:

a) 45 km. away to the northwest of the Starting Point.

b) 45 km. directly north of Starting Point.

c) 50 km. away to the northeast of the Starting Point.

d) 30 km. directly to the east of the Starting Point.

Answer: (c)

direction-and-distance

Note: According to Pythagoras’ theorem, for a rightangled triangle.

direction-and-distance

BC2 = AB2 + AC2

BC = $√{AB^2 = AC^2}$

$√{ST^2 = TF^2}$

=$√{40^2 + 30^2}$ = $√{2500}$

= 50km

Question : 8

If at the starting point, the car was heading towards south, what would be the final position motorist:

a) 50 km. to the west and 20 km. to the north.

b) 30 km. to the east and 40 km. to the south.

a) None of these.

b) 90 km.

c) 120 km.

d) 100 km.

Answer: (b)

direction-and-distance

Note:

s = Distance covered; v = Velocity (km/hr) t = Time taken; s = v × t

The total distance travelled by the motorist from the starting point till last signal is

10 + 10 + 20 + 40 + 10 = 90 km.
