MCQ: Test: Direction Sense- 2 - SSC CGL MCQ

From the information given in the question we get the following arrangement:

Required distance = √(8² + 6²) = √100 = 10 km

Hence, Option A is correct.

From hints given it is clear that he took two 90 degree turns in anticlockwise direction continuously, and then again took four 45 degree turns in clockwise direction continuously. So, the net turn is:
Anticlockwise 2(90) – clockwise 4(45) = 180 - 180 = 0 degree. Thus, after turning 0-degrees he is still facing east.

Hence option B is correct answer.

From the common explanation, we get the distance between S and H is SZ + ZH = 12 cm + 5 cm = 17 cm.
Hence, Option D is correct.
Common Explanation:
References:
E is 12cm north of M, which is 10cm to the west of T.
Z is 10cm east of T.
O is 20cm west of N, which is 5cm south of T.
S is to the north of Z.
H is to the south of Z.
N is to the west of H.
S is to the east of E.
Inferences:
From the above statement, we get the final figure below:

From the common explanation, we can see that O is in south west direction with respect to E.
Hence, Option A is correct.
Common Explanation:
References:
E is 12cm north of M, which is 10cm to the west of T.
Z is 10cm east of T.
O is 20cm west of N, which is 5cm south of T.
S is to the north of Z.
H is to the south of Z.
N is to the west of H.
S is to the east of E.
Inferences:
From the above statement, we get the final figure below:

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get
SM² = MZ² + SZ²
SM² = 20² + 12² = 400 + 144 = 544
SM =4√34 cm
And S is in north east direction with respect to M.
Hence, Option A is correct.
Common Explanation:
References:
E is 12cm north of M, which is 10cm to the west of T.
Z is 10cm east of T.
O is 20cm west of N, which is 5cm south of T.
S is to the north of Z.
H is to the south of Z.
N is to the west of H.
S is to the east of E.
Inferences:
From the above statement, we get the final figure below:

References:
Maneka walks 5 km towards the North, then takes a right turn and walks 10 km.
Now, she turns left and walks 5 km.
Finally, she takes another left turn and walks 10 km.
Inferences:
From the above statements, we get following diagram:

It is clear from the diagram that she is walking in the west direction and she is (5 + 5) = 10 km away from the starting point.
Hence, option D is correct.

In the evening shadow always falls in the east direction as the sun always sets in the west. So the sun is in the west in the Evening and the shadow is in the east.

As we know Damu was standing on the field facing the cricket stump. The sun is on the west side in the evening means the shadow of cricket stumps and Damu is on the east side. The shadow of the cricket stumps falling to his right side means Damu is facing the north side.

Hence option D is correct.

From the common explanation, we can see that Q is in north east direction with respect to I.
Hence, Option C is correct.
Common Explanation:
Reference:
Z is 25 cm to the north of A.
Y is 65 cm to the east of A.
H is 7 cm south of Y.
I is 65 cm to the west of H.
J is 10 cm to the west of Z.
Y is 25 cm to the south of Q.
Inference:
From the above statement, we get the final figure as below:

From the common explanation, we get the shortest distance between A and H is QY + YH = 25 cm + 7 cm = 32 cm.
Hence, Option B is correct.
Common Explanation:
Reference:
Z is 25 cm to the north of A.
Y is 65 cm to the east of A.
H is 7 cm south of Y.
I is 65 cm to the west of H.
J is 10 cm to the west of Z.
Y is 25 cm to the south of Q.
Inference:
From the above statement, we get the final figure as below:
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

From the common explanation, we can see that her school is in south direction with respect to the park and the distance between the park and the school = 3m + 4m + 3m = 10m
Hence, Option D is correct.
Common Explanation:
References:
Ishu was standing in a park.
She walked 6m towards the east and turned right and walked 3m.
Then she turned left and walked 6m to reach the mall.
Now, she turned right and walked 4m and again turned right and walked 3m to reach the gym.
After some time, she turned left and walked 3m and turned right and walked 9m to reach his school.
Inferences:
From the above statement, we get the final figure below:

Let the distance between the mall and the gym be x m.
From the common explanation:
Using Pythagoras theorem, we get
x² = 4² + 3²
x² = 16 + 9 = 25
x = 5 m
Hence, Option C is correct.
Common Explanation:
References:
Ishu was standing in a park.
She walked 6m towards the east and turned right and walked 3m.
Then she turned left and walked 6m to reach the mall.
Now, she turned right and walked 4m and again turned right and walked 3m to reach the gym.
After some time, she turned left and walked 3m and turned right and walked 9m to reach his school.
Inferences:
From the above statement, we get the final figure below:

From the common explanation, we can see that the gym is in the south east direction of the park.
Hence, Option D is correct.
