Explanation:
To determine the direction of P with respect to R, we need to analyze the given information. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: P is to the south of Q
This means that P is located below Q. We can represent it as follows:
Q
P
Step 2: R is to the east of Q
This means that R is located to the right of Q. We can represent it as follows:
Q R
P
Step 3: Analyzing the positions of P and R
From the above representations, we can see that P is located to the south of Q and R is located to the east of Q. Since P is below Q and R is to the right of Q, we can infer that P is also below R.
Step 4: Determining the direction of P with respect to R
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that P is located to the south of R. Since R is to the east of Q and P is below Q, the direction of P with respect to R is South-West.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) South-West.

Harshad Saha answered |
Ritesh moves from his village at O to his uncle’s village at A and thereon to his father in law village at B.
Clearly, ∆OBA is right-angled at B.
So, OA2 = OB2 + AB2
⇒ OB2 = OA2 – AB2
Thus B is 3 km to the east of his initial position O.
Clearly, ∆OBA is right-angled at B.
So, OA2 = OB2 + AB2
⇒ OB2 = OA2 – AB2
Thus B is 3 km to the east of his initial position O.

Starting from his house in the East, Pravin moves west wards. Then, the theatre, which is the left, will be in the south. The hospital, which is straight ahead, will be to the west.
So, the college will be to the north.

The movments of the Naresh are as shown in fig.
∴ Naresh’s distance from initial position A
= AE = (AB + BE) = (AB + CD)
= (30 + 20) m
= 50m
∴ Naresh’s distance from initial position A
= AE = (AB + BE) = (AB + CD)
= (30 + 20) m
= 50m

Kishan's movements can be described as follows:
1. Walked 40m towards East
2. Took a right turn and walked 50m
3. Took a left turn and walked 40m
To determine the direction Kishan is facing currently, we need to analyze his movements step by step.
1. Walked 40m towards East
When Kishan walks 40m towards East, he moves in the direction of the rising sun. So, after this step, he is facing towards the East.
2. Took a right turn and walked 50m
After walking 40m towards East, Kishan takes a right turn. Since he was facing East, a right turn will lead him to the South direction. He then walks 50m in this direction.
3. Took a left turn and walked 40m
After walking 50m towards South, Kishan takes a left turn. Since he was facing South, a left turn will lead him to the East direction. He then walks 40m in this direction.
Inference:
After taking a left turn and walking 40m, Kishan finds himself facing East again. Therefore, the direction he is currently in from the starting point is East.
Conclusion:
Kishan is now facing East from the starting point.
Note: It's important to note that the given options do not include the direction "East." However, the closest option to East is "South-east," which can be considered as the correct answer in this case.

Devika Nair answered |
The movements of Manoj are as shown in figure (O to P, P to Q, Q to R, R to S and S to T).
Since TS = OP + QR, so T lies with O.
∴ Required distance
OT = (RS – PQ)
= (15 – 10) m = 5 m
Since TS = OP + QR, so T lies with O.
∴ Required distance
OT = (RS – PQ)
= (15 – 10) m = 5 m

∴ Mahesh distance from his original position A = AE = (AB – BE)
= (AB – CD)
= (30 – 20)m = 10 m
