Understanding the Arrangement
To solve the problem, we need to break down the information provided about the boys’ positions:
  • Five boys are standing in a row facing East.
  • Deepak is to the left of Sameer, Tushar, and Shailendra.
  • Sameer, Tushar, and Shailendra are to the left of Sushil.
  • Shailendra is between Sameer and Tushar.
  • Tushar is fourth from the left.

Positioning the Boys
1. Tushar's Position: Since Tushar is fourth from the left, we can denote the positions as follows:
- Position 1: ?
- Position 2: ?
- Position 3: ?
- Position 4: Tushar
- Position 5: ?
2. Identifying Shailendra and Sameer: Since Shailendra is between Sameer and Tushar, we can place them:
- Position 3: Shailendra
- Position 2: Sameer
- Position 1: Deepak (because Deepak is to the left of Sameer)
3. Final Arrangement:
- Position 1: Deepak
- Position 2: Sameer
- Position 3: Shailendra
- Position 4: Tushar
- Position 5: Sushil (since Sameer, Tushar, and Shailendra are to the left of Sushil)
Finding Sameer's Position from the Right
- Now, we can determine Sameer's position from the right:
- Position 5: Sushil
- Position 4: Tushar
- Position 3: Shailendra
- Position 2: Sameer
- Position 1: Deepak
Thus, Sameer is in the second position from the right.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'B', meaning Sameer is second from the right.

If 'East' is called 'North', 'North' is called 'West', 'West' is called 'South', and 'South' is called 'East', what is the direction of the 'sunset'?
  • a)
    North
  • b)
    West
  • c)
    South
  • d)
    East

A, B, C and D are playing cards. A and B are partners. D faces towards North. If A faces towards West, then who faces towards South?
  • a)
    B
  • b)
    C
  • c)
    D
  • d)
    Data inadequate
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Singh answered
(i) A and B are partners, so they sit facing opposite directions.
(ii) D is facing North.
(iii) A is facing West.
Since A and B are partners, B must face East (opposite of A). Now, D is already facing North, and there are only four directions left: North, South, East, and West.
So, C must be facing South.
So, the correct answer is option B - C.

A girl walks 2 km towards the West and then turns right and walks 5 km. What is her final direction from her starting point?

    North
  • c)
    West
  • d)
    South
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Glitz Classes answered
The girl starts by walking 2 km West. Then she turns right, which means she turns towards the North (since a right turn from West leads to North), and walks 5 km.
So, her final position is:
  • 2 km West and 5 km North from the starting point.
Her final direction from the starting point is towards the North.
Answer:
c) North

A boy walks 2 km towards the East from west and then turns right and walks 3 km. What is his final direction from his starting point?
  • a)
    East

  • c)
    South

    North
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Glitz Classes answered
- The boy starts walking 2 km towards the East.
- From his new position, he turns right.
- Since he was initially facing East, turning right means he is now facing South.
- He walks 3 km South.
- His final position relative to the starting point is directly South because he moved first East and then South.
- Thus, the final direction from his starting point is South.

If you are facing North and turn 180 degrees clockwise, what direction are you now facing?
  • a)
    East
  • b)
    West
  • c)
    South
  • d)
    North
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikhil Verma answered
Turning 180 Degrees Clockwise:
To determine the direction you are facing after turning 180 degrees clockwise, you need to understand how the degrees of a circle work. A full circle has 360 degrees, so turning 180 degrees means you are essentially turning halfway around.

Initial Direction:
- You are initially facing North.

180-Degree Clockwise Turn:
- When you turn 180 degrees clockwise from North, you will be facing the opposite direction from where you started.

Final Direction:
- Therefore, after turning 180 degrees clockwise from North, you will now be facing South.
So, the correct answer to the question of what direction you are facing after turning 180 degrees clockwise is South.
