Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 1

A man walks 1 km east and then turns south and walks 5 km. Then, he turns east and walks 2 km. After that he turns north and walks 9 km. How far is he from his starting point?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 1

AB = 1 + 2 = 3 km 
BC = 9 - 5 = 4 km 
Now, in right triangle ABC, using Pythagoras theorem,
AB2 + BC2 = AC2 
32 + 42 = AC2
9 + 16 = AC2
25 = AC2
AC = 5 km

Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 3

Mayna starts walking towards south. After walking a distance of 15 metres, she turns towards north. After walking another 20 metres, she turns towards east and walks another 10 metres. She then turns towards south and walks 5 metres more. How far and in which direction is Mayna from her original position?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 3

Here, A is the original position and E is the finishing point.
BC = 20 m, AB = 15 m, AC = ED = 5 m, CD = AE = 10 m
Therefore, at the finishing point, Mayna is 10 metres east from the original position, i.e. A.

Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 4

Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given question.

There are two axes AB and XY such that A is in north, B is in south, X is in west and Y is in east. Q is the point of intersection of both the axes. At A, B, X and Y, there are houses of 4 friends - Amit, Rahul, Karan and Kunal, respectively. Another friend Rohan is standing at the point 'Q' facing north-east direction. He then walks 4 km in the same direction which he is facing and reaches 'M'. Then he turns 135° anticlockwise and walks 5 km straight and reaches 'N'. Amit starts walking towards south from his house and reaches point Q. After reaching Q, Rohan tells Amit to meet him at N; so Amit travels the shortest distance possible to reach N in the end where he meets Rohan.

Q. What is the final direction of Amit with respect to Q?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 4

Amit has to walk north-west to reach 'N'. Thus, answer is north-west.

Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 5

Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given question.

There are two axes AB and XY such that A is in north, B is in south, X is in west and Y is in east. Q is the point of intersection of both the axes. At A, B, X and Y, there are houses of 4 friends - Amit, Rahul, Karan and Kunal, respectively. Another friend Rohan is standing at the point 'Q' facing north-east direction. He then walks 4 km in the same direction which he is facing and reaches 'M'. Then he turns 135° anticlockwise and walks 5 km straight and reaches 'N'. Amit starts walking towards south from his house and reaches point Q. After reaching Q, Rohan tells Amit to meet him at N; so Amit travels the shortest distance possible to reach N in the end where he meets Rohan.

Q. Find the shortest distance Amit travels from Q to reach the point N.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 5

The shortest distance would be NQ. Based on the directions Rohan took, the triangle formed is a right-angled triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem:
NQ2 + QM2 = NM2
NQ2 + 42 = 52
NQ2 = 25 – 16
NQ = √9
NQ = 3 km

Test Level 3: Direction Sense - Question 6

Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given question.

There are two axes AB and XY such that A is in north, B is in south, X is in west and Y is in east. Q is the point of intersection of both the axes.

He then walks 4 km in the same direction which he is facing and reaches 'M'. Then he turns 135° anticlockwise and walks 5 km straight and reaches 'N'. Amit starts walking towards south from his house and reaches point Q. After reaching Q, Rohan tells Amit to meet him at N; so Amit travels the shortest distance possible to reach N in the end where he meets Rohan.

Q. Point 'M' is in which direction with respect to Rahul's house?

Directions: Study the following information and answer the question given below.

Five students - P, Q, R, S and T were preparing an act for their annual function. They were facing south, but not necessarily in the same order. The distances between two adjacent students are successive multiples of 5 (i.e. the distance between the first and the second student is 5 m, the first and the third student is 10 m, and between the first and the fourth student is 15 m, and so on.)
Also,
Q is the immediate neighbour of T.
There are two students between S and R.
P is second to the right of Q.
R is not adjacent to P.

Student P turned 180° and walked straight for 10 m, and reached point A. Student R walked some distance to reach point A. Student T walked 10$\ \sqrt{2}$ m to reach point B in the southwest direction by turning exactly 45°.
