Tips and Tricks for Directional Senses
Directions problems questioned in the exam are based on 2 principles-
- Distance
- Direction
There are mainly four directions – East, West, North & South and 4 types of cardinal directions such as North East, North West, South East, and South West as represented below
Left and Right side Movements
- If a person is looking at northside, on making a move towards left will face to west direction and on making a move towards right will face to eastside.
- If a person is looking at west direction, on making a move towards left will face to southside and on making a move towards right will face to north.
- If a person is looking to east, on making a move towards left will face to north and on making a move towards right will face to south.
- If a person is looking to south, on making a move towards left will face east and on making a move towards right will face to west.
Hence, the above facts can be sum up as:
Every time an individual moves to her/his left side, he/she will move in the direction of anti- clockwise.
Every time an individual moves to her/his right side, he/she will move in the direction of clockwise.Message: if a question says to move towards left side or right side, we solve the problem by assuming the movement at an angle of 90 degrees.
Type 1: Total distance covered or minimum distance among two places;
Q1: Nagendra walked 20 m towards north. Then he turned right and walks 30 m. Then he turns right and walks 35 m. Then he turns left and walks 15 m. Finally he turns left and walks 15 m. how many metres is he from the starting position and in which direction?
