Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to use the given information and conditions to determine which combination of flats gets south facing flats.
Given Information:
- There are six flats on a floor in two rows facing North and South.
- The flats are allotted to P, Q, R, S, T, and U.
- Q gets a North facing flat and is not next to S.
- S and U get diagonally opposite flats.
- R, next to U, gets a south facing flat.
- T gets a North facing flat.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. We can start by making a grid to represent the two rows of flats, with North facing flats in one row and South facing flats in the other row.
North Facing: Q T _
South Facing: _ R U
2. From the given information, we know that Q gets a North facing flat and is not next to S. So, Q cannot be in the first or last position in the North facing row. Therefore, Q must be in the second position.
North Facing: _ Q T
South Facing: _ R U
3. S and U get diagonally opposite flats. Since U is in the South facing row, S must be in the North facing row. S cannot be in the first or last position in the North facing row, as it is not next to Q. Therefore, S must be in the second position.
North Facing: _ S Q T
South Facing: _ R U
4. R, next to U, gets a south facing flat. Since U is in the third position in the South facing row, R must be in the second position.
North Facing: _ S Q T
South Facing: _ R U
5. T gets a North facing flat. Since T is the only position left in the North facing row, it must be in the fourth position.
North Facing: _ S Q T
South Facing: _ R U
6. Now we can determine the combination that gets south facing flats. In this case, it is UPT.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - URP.
Conclusion:
By using the given information and following the conditions, we have determined that the combination URP gets south facing flats.
To solve this question, we need to use the given information and conditions to determine which combination of flats gets south facing flats.
Given Information:
- There are six flats on a floor in two rows facing North and South.
- The flats are allotted to P, Q, R, S, T, and U.
- Q gets a North facing flat and is not next to S.
- S and U get diagonally opposite flats.
- R, next to U, gets a south facing flat.
- T gets a North facing flat.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. We can start by making a grid to represent the two rows of flats, with North facing flats in one row and South facing flats in the other row.
North Facing: Q T _
South Facing: _ R U
2. From the given information, we know that Q gets a North facing flat and is not next to S. So, Q cannot be in the first or last position in the North facing row. Therefore, Q must be in the second position.
North Facing: _ Q T
South Facing: _ R U
3. S and U get diagonally opposite flats. Since U is in the South facing row, S must be in the North facing row. S cannot be in the first or last position in the North facing row, as it is not next to Q. Therefore, S must be in the second position.
North Facing: _ S Q T
South Facing: _ R U
4. R, next to U, gets a south facing flat. Since U is in the third position in the South facing row, R must be in the second position.
North Facing: _ S Q T
South Facing: _ R U
5. T gets a North facing flat. Since T is the only position left in the North facing row, it must be in the fourth position.
North Facing: _ S Q T
South Facing: _ R U
6. Now we can determine the combination that gets south facing flats. In this case, it is UPT.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - URP.
Conclusion:
By using the given information and following the conditions, we have determined that the combination URP gets south facing flats.

Nandita Dasgupta answered |
Umesh's Path:
- Umesh starts at point P
- He goes directly to point Q, which is 9 feet away from P
- He then turns right and walks 4 feet
- Next, he turns right again and walks a distance equal to the distance between P and Q
- Finally, he turns right once more and walks 3 feet
Calculating the Distance from P:
To determine Umesh's final distance from point P, let's break down his path step by step.
Step 1: Umesh goes directly from P to Q, which is 9 feet away from P.
Step 2: Umesh turns right and walks 4 feet. This does not affect his distance from P, as he is moving parallel to the initial line connecting P and Q.
Step 3: Umesh turns right again and walks a distance equal to the distance between P and Q. Since Umesh initially traveled 9 feet from P to Q, he will now cover the same distance in the opposite direction. Therefore, he will be 9 feet away from Q at this point.
Step 4: Umesh turns right once more and walks 3 feet. Again, this does not affect his distance from P or Q, as he is moving parallel to the line connecting them.
Final Distance from P:
After completing all the steps, Umesh is now 9 feet away from Q. However, since he moved in the opposite direction from Q to P, his final distance from P will be equal to the distance between P and Q. Therefore, Umesh is currently 9 feet away from P.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C) 1 foot. Umesh is 1 foot away from point P after following the given instructions.
- Umesh starts at point P
- He goes directly to point Q, which is 9 feet away from P
- He then turns right and walks 4 feet
- Next, he turns right again and walks a distance equal to the distance between P and Q
- Finally, he turns right once more and walks 3 feet
Calculating the Distance from P:
To determine Umesh's final distance from point P, let's break down his path step by step.
Step 1: Umesh goes directly from P to Q, which is 9 feet away from P.
Step 2: Umesh turns right and walks 4 feet. This does not affect his distance from P, as he is moving parallel to the initial line connecting P and Q.
Step 3: Umesh turns right again and walks a distance equal to the distance between P and Q. Since Umesh initially traveled 9 feet from P to Q, he will now cover the same distance in the opposite direction. Therefore, he will be 9 feet away from Q at this point.
Step 4: Umesh turns right once more and walks 3 feet. Again, this does not affect his distance from P or Q, as he is moving parallel to the line connecting them.
Final Distance from P:
After completing all the steps, Umesh is now 9 feet away from Q. However, since he moved in the opposite direction from Q to P, his final distance from P will be equal to the distance between P and Q. Therefore, Umesh is currently 9 feet away from P.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C) 1 foot. Umesh is 1 foot away from point P after following the given instructions.

- South-West is a combination of two directions: South and West.
- South is a downward direction.
- West is a leftward direction.
2. South-East:
- South-East is a combination of two directions: South and East.
- South is a downward direction.
- East is a rightward direction.
From the given information, we can conclude the following:
1. K is located South-West of L, meaning K is positioned downward and towards the left of L.
2. M is located South-East of L, meaning M is positioned downward and towards the right of L.
Now, let's determine the direction of M from K:
1. M is positioned downward and towards the right of L.
2. K is positioned downward and towards the left of L.
Thus, M is positioned in the East direction of K.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) East.

- M is 40 m South-East of L.
Now, let's analyze the directions:
1. South-West:
- South-West is a combination of two directions: South and West.
- South is a downward direction.
- West is a leftward direction.
2. South-East:
- South-East is a combination of two directions: South and East.

Solution:
To solve this question, we need to analyze the given information and make deductions based on it.
Given Information:
- Q gets a North facing flat.
- S and U get diagonally opposite flats.
- R, next to U, gets a south facing flat.
- T gets a North facing flat.
Step 1: Identifying the Possible Positions of Q and S
Since Q gets a North facing flat and is not next to S, we can determine the possible positions for Q and S as follows:
1. Q can be in the first row facing North, and S can be in the second row facing South.
2. Q can be in the second row facing North, and S can be in the first row facing South.
Step 2: Analyzing the Positions of R and U
- S and U get diagonally opposite flats. This means that if S is in the first row, U will be in the second row, and vice versa.
- R, next to U, gets a south facing flat.
Based on this information, we can determine the positions of R and U as follows:
1. If Q is in the first row and S is in the second row, then R will be in the second row next to U.
2. If Q is in the second row and S is in the first row, then R will be in the first row next to U.
Step 3: Analyzing the Positions of T and P
- T gets a North facing flat.
- T cannot be next to Q or S.
Based on this information, we can determine the positions of T and P as follows:
1. If Q is in the first row and S is in the second row, then T will be in the first row, and P will be in the second row.
2. If Q is in the second row and S is in the first row, then T will be in the second row, and P will be in the first row.
Answer: T
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that T's flat is between Q and S.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - T.

Nidhi Gupta answered |
To find the direction in which P should go, let's analyze the given information step by step.
Step 1: P started from his house towards west and walked a distance of 25 m.
- This means P initially moved in the west direction and covered a distance of 25 m.
Step 2: P turned to the right and walked 10 m.
- Since P turned to the right, his new direction would be north.
- P walked 10 m in the north direction.
Step 3: P turned to the right again and walked 15 m.
- Since P turned to the right from the north direction, his new direction would be east.
- P walked 15 m in the east direction.
Step 4: P is to turn right at 135 degrees and cover 30 m.
- To find the new direction, we need to add 135 degrees to the current direction, which is east.
- Adding 135 degrees to east gives us a direction of south-east.
So, the final direction in which P should go is south-east.
Explanation:
- P initially started towards the west.
- Then P turned right twice, which means a total of 180 degrees (90 degrees each turn).
- After that, P turned right at 135 degrees, which further changed the direction.
- Combining the initial west direction with the subsequent turns, we get a final direction of south-east.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) South-West.
Step 1: P started from his house towards west and walked a distance of 25 m.
- This means P initially moved in the west direction and covered a distance of 25 m.
Step 2: P turned to the right and walked 10 m.
- Since P turned to the right, his new direction would be north.
- P walked 10 m in the north direction.
Step 3: P turned to the right again and walked 15 m.
- Since P turned to the right from the north direction, his new direction would be east.
- P walked 15 m in the east direction.
Step 4: P is to turn right at 135 degrees and cover 30 m.
- To find the new direction, we need to add 135 degrees to the current direction, which is east.
- Adding 135 degrees to east gives us a direction of south-east.
So, the final direction in which P should go is south-east.
Explanation:
- P initially started towards the west.
- Then P turned right twice, which means a total of 180 degrees (90 degrees each turn).
- After that, P turned right at 135 degrees, which further changed the direction.
- Combining the initial west direction with the subsequent turns, we get a final direction of south-east.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) South-West.

Understanding the problem
Ravi initially cycled 10 km towards the South, then turned right and cycled 5 km, followed by another right turn and cycling 10 km. Finally, he turned left and cycled 10 km. We need to determine how many kilometers he will have to cycle to reach his home straight.
Calculating the total distance traveled
- South: 10 km
- Right: 5 km
- Right: 10 km
- Left: 10 km
Finding the direction to the home
To find the direction Ravi needs to cycle to reach his home straight, we need to determine the remaining distance and direction from his current position.
- Ravi has cycled 10 km towards the South, 5 km to the right, and 10 km to the right again. This means he has covered 10 + 5 + 10 = 25 km in total.
- Since he still needs to cycle towards his home, which is in the opposite direction of his current position, he would have to cycle 15 km to reach his home straight.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 15 km.
