MCQ: Test: Direction Sense- 1 - Question 5

Direction: Study the following information and answer the given questions carefully.

Point P is 6m to the east of point Q, which is 8m to the north  of point R, which is 4m to the north of point S,and R is lso 5m to west of T

Q. In which direction is point P with respect to point T?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

For those who prefer not to use coordinates, here's another way:

  • Start at T.

  • R is 5m west of T.

  • Q is 8m north of R, so from T:

    • Go 5m west to R, then 8m north to Q.

  • P is 6m east of Q, so from Q:

    • Go 6m east to P.

Now, relative to T:

  • From T to P:

    • West 5m, then north 8m, then east 6m.

    • Net west-east movement: -5 (west) + 6 (east) = +1 (east).

    • Net north-south movement: +8 (north).

So, P is 1m east and 8m north of T → northeast.
