Q 1 - Shatabdi walks towards South for 20 m and from there she goes towards right-hand side for 10 m and again turns right-hand side for 15 m. She is in which direction?

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

When she goes towards South and turns right-hand side, she is either in South or in West. But she has traversed less in the last move than her first move by 5 m. So, she is in the South-West direction.

Q 2 - If East is replaced by South-East, then West will be replaced by-

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

If East will be replaced by South-East, then simultaneously each direction will shift 45 degrees in clockwise direction and West will be replaced by North-West.

Q 3 - If East is replaced by West, then South-East will be replaced by-

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

As East is replaced by West, each direction will be shifted to 180degrees in anticlockwise direction and South-East will be replaced by North-West.

Q 4 - Salman started to move in the direction of East in an open field and stopped after moving 35m. Now he turned to his right-hand side and moved 15 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point.

Options :

Answer : D

Explanation

Here we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take square of each number i.e. 35 and 15, whose square is 1225 and 225 respectively. We will add them and the sum is 1450. Finally, we will take the square root of the number and the result is 38.07 m. So, the minimum distance here is 38m.

Q 5 - Atul walked for 5km towards East and from that point 4km towards West. He then moved to North for 5km and turned left-hand side for 1km. How much distance did he travel from the initial point?

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

He will be 5km towards North from the initial point.

Q 6 - If North is replaced by North-East, then South-West will be replaced by-

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

If North will be replaced by North-East, then simultaneously each direction will shift 45 degree in clockwise direction and South-West will be replaced by West.

Q 7 - If West is replaced by South-West, then North will be replaced by-

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

If West will be replaced by South-West, then simultaneously each direction will shift 45 degree in anticlockwise direction and North will be replaced by North-West.

Q 8 - Rudhi Sundar started to move towards East in his own lawn and stopped after moving 45m. Now he turned to his right-hand side and moved 30 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 45 and 30, which are 2025 and 900 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 2925. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 54.07 m. So, the minimum distance here is 54 m.

Q 9 - Saroj started to walk towards West in an open field and stopped after moving 60m. Now she turned to her right-hand side and moved 30 m. How much minimum distance she has to cover to reach his starting point?

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 60 and 30, which are 3600 and 900 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 4500. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 67.08 m. So, the minimum distance here is 67 m.

Q 10 - Sudam started to move in the West direction on a road and stopped after moving 25m. He turned to his right-hand side and moved 15 m. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 25 and 15, which are 625 and 225 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 850. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 29.15 m. So, the minimum distance here is 29 m.
