- This means he moves 10 metres in the opposite direction of North.
- Suraj's current position is 10 metres South.
2. Turning left and walking:
- Suraj turns to the left and walks 20 metres.
- This means he moves 20 metres towards the East.
- Suraj's current position is now 10 metres South and 20 metres East.
3. Moving to the right and walking:
- Suraj moves to his right and walks a distance of 20 metres.
- Since he was already facing East, moving to the right means he continues to move towards the South.
- Suraj's current position is now 30 metres South and 20 metres East.
4. Turning right and walking:
- Suraj turns to the right and walks 20 metres.
- This means he moves 20 metres towards the West.
- Suraj's current position is now 30 metres South and 0 metres West.
5. Turning right again and walking:
- Suraj turns to the right and moves a distance of 10 metres.
- Since he was facing West, turning right means he now moves towards the North.
- Suraj's current position is now 20 metres North and 0 metres West.
Final position:
From the calculations above, it is clear that Suraj's final position is 20 metres North and 0 metres West. This means he is 20 metres South of the starting point.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - 20 metres South.

Walked towards the east for 5 meters and then turned left and walked for another 3 meters. Meanwhile, Ramesh walked towards the west for 4 meters and then turned right and walked for another 2 meters.
Now, let's determine their current positions and directions:
Suresh:
- Suresh initially walked towards the east, so he is facing west.
- After walking 5 meters towards the east, Suresh turned left and walked for 3 meters. This means he made a 90-degree left turn.
- Therefore, Suresh is now facing south and is 3 meters away from his starting point.
Ramesh:
- Ramesh initially walked towards the west, so he is facing east.
- After walking 4 meters towards the west, Ramesh turned right and walked for 2 meters. This means he made a 90-degree right turn.
- Therefore, Ramesh is now facing south and is 2 meters away from his starting point.
In conclusion, Suresh and Ramesh are both facing south, with Suresh being 3 meters away from his starting point and Ramesh being 2 meters away from his starting point.

Clearly, the narrator starts from A, moves towards north-east a distance of 10 m up to B, turns left (90 degree anticlockwise) and moves 7.5 m up to C. Clearly, C lies to the north of A. Also, ΔABC is right-angled at B.
So, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = (10)2 + (7.5)2 = 100 + 56.25 = 156.25
AC = √(156.25) m = 12.5 mThus the narrator is 12.5 m to the north of his initial position.

Hiral Roy answered |
Explanation:
To determine the direction of A with respect to C, we need to first draw a diagram.
Let us assume that B is at the center of the diagram. A is to the south of B and C is to the east of B.
We know that:
- South is the direction opposite to north.
- East is the direction perpendicular to north and south, towards the right.
Therefore, A is towards the bottom of the diagram and C is towards the right of the diagram.
Using Compass Directions:
- If we draw a compass at the center of the diagram, we can see that A is in the south-west direction of C.
- South-west is a combination of south and west, which means that A is towards the bottom-left of C.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, which is south-west.

Steps to solve the problem:
Step 1: From the starting point, Adi walks 50 meters straight towards the East.
Step 2: Then, he turns to the right and walks 50 meters again.
Step 3: Finally, he turns towards left and walks 25 meters.
Determining the direction:
From the starting point, Adi has moved:
- 50 meters East (Step 1)
- 50 meters South (Step 2, turning right)
- 25 meters East (Step 3, turning left)
Calculating the net direction moved:
- Adi has moved 50 meters East and 25 meters West (50 - 25 = 25 meters East)
- Adi has moved 50 meters South
Therefore, Adi is in the North-west direction from the starting point.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'D) North-west'.

Manoj Desai answered |
Explanation:
To determine Q's facing direction, we need to analyze the given information step by step.
Step 1:
The partners in the game are P, Q, R, and S. We are given that P and Q are partners, and R and S are partners (P, Q, R, and S, Q are partners).
Step 2:
We are also given that S is to the right of R. Since we know the facing direction of R, we can determine the facing direction of S. As R is facing west, S must be to the right of R facing north.
Step 3:
Now, since P and Q are partners, and P is not mentioned in the given information about facing directions, we can conclude that P's facing direction is not relevant to this question.
Step 4:
Finally, we can determine the facing direction of Q based on the information we have. Since S is facing north, and Q is partners with S, Q must also be facing north.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'a' - North.
To determine Q's facing direction, we need to analyze the given information step by step.
Step 1:
The partners in the game are P, Q, R, and S. We are given that P and Q are partners, and R and S are partners (P, Q, R, and S, Q are partners).
Step 2:
We are also given that S is to the right of R. Since we know the facing direction of R, we can determine the facing direction of S. As R is facing west, S must be to the right of R facing north.
Step 3:
Now, since P and Q are partners, and P is not mentioned in the given information about facing directions, we can conclude that P's facing direction is not relevant to this question.
Step 4:
Finally, we can determine the facing direction of Q based on the information we have. Since S is facing north, and Q is partners with S, Q must also be facing north.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'a' - North.
