Test: Distance And Directions- 2 - Railways MCQ

i) Avantika went 15 km to the North.

ii) Then she turned west and covered 10 km.

iii) Then, she turned south and covered 5 km.

iv) Finally turning to east, she covered 10 km

Drawing the Diagram as per the given information:

Therefore, it is clear that She is in the North from his house.

According to the given condition, the line diagram is as follows:

From the diagram it is clear that C is to the West of B and South-West of A. D is to the North-West of A and North of C and is in line with AB.
Hence, B is to the South-East of A.

According to the question,
A man starts from a point X and walks 3 km southwards and reaches point D, then he turns left and walks 6 km and reaches point F.

According to the above diagram,
He is in the South-East direction from his starting point.

Hence, the correct answer is South-East.

Given that,
Raj starts from his office facing west and walks 100 metres straight.
He takes a right turn and walks 100 metres.
Further, he takes a left turn and walks 50 metres.
According to the above information a map diagram is drawn as follows -

From the above figure it is clear that Raj is now in the North-West direction from the starting point.
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.

While doing Yoga in upside down position if a man's face is in the west direction then his head is in the East direction. The left hand will be in the North direction and the right hand will be in the South direction. 

Hence, 'North' is the correct answer. 

From the above diagram we can see that if Ramesh start from point O at the end see will be at point D.
The required distance is OD.
OD = AB + CD
OD = 30 m + 10 m
OD = 40 m
From the above diagram, D point is on the west direction from the starting point.
Hence, the required answer is 40 m, West.

According to the given information:

The boy walks from Nilesh, meets Ankur followed by Kumar, Dev and then Pintu.
So, the boy first walks 25 m and reaches Ankur, then 40 m to Kumar. From there the boy moves 60 m to Dev and then 90 m to Pintu.
Then the total distance covered by the boy = 25 + 40 + 60 + 90 = 215 m
Hence, the boy will travel a distance of 215 m all through, option A is the correct answer.

As we can see, Ankur is in the left of Kumar. Hence, Pintu is in  the North East of Ankur.

Home is in North, Park is in East, complex is in South and Market is in West from Shehnaz.

Alok walked 30 m towards East. He took a right turn and walked 40 m. He took a right turn and walked 50 m.

Hence, Alok is South-West from his starting point.

According to given data let's make Mohan walking route direction;

Before turning back his face was in West direction.

After turned back his face should be in 'East' direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "East".

According to the question, we have to make a diagram as drawn below to show the direction and the distance travelled by the person.

Here, Point M and point K is final position of X and Y respectively and point M is west of point K. So the shortest distance between X final position and Y's final position is
4 km + 5 km = 9 km
Hence, the correct answer is 9 Km

Given:

Distance between starting points = 150 km.

Journey of first bus = 25 km, then takes a right turn and then runs for 15 km, then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road.

Journey of second bus = 35 km along the main road

Calculations:

Let first bus started from point X.

After running for 25 km, it reaches point A.

⇒ Then took a right turn and then runs for 15 km.

⇒ After reaching point B, turns left and runs parallel to main road for another 25 km.

⇒ After reaching point C, takes the left turn and reached the main road at point D.

Total distance covered by the first bus along main road = 25 + 25 = 50 km 

Let second bus started from point Y.

⇒ Due to a minor breakdown, the second bus has run only 35 km along the main road and reached point E..

Total distance covered by the second bus along main road = 35 km

Distance between both the buses = 150 - (50 + 35)

⇒ 150 - 85

⇒ 65 km

∴ The distance between the two buses at the end is 65 km.

According to question,

Figure (a): Shows the standard directions.

Figure (b): Due to accident the pointer started showing east as south.

From the statements given in directions we can draw a figure (b) which is as follows:

From fig.(b), the direction of west shown by the pointer is actually south in fig. (a). Hence, option D is correct.

One morning after sunrise, Sunil was standing facing a pole. The shadow of the pole fell exactly to his right. 

Clearly, Sunil is facing South direction.

Hence, 'South' is the correct answer.

Sun rises in the East. It is given that "one morning after sunrise", therefore, we will mark Sun in the East direction in the below diagram.

When Sun is in the East direction, shadow of an object falls in the West. 

It is given that Bikram's shadow falls towards left hand side. This means Bikram's left hand side should be West direction.

In the question above pattern followed is,

Therefore the correct answer is Option D South.

C is the correct option. Imagining the following directions-  east west north south ...,...first he/she moves east then takes left and his face is now on northward. and he/she moves straight so his/her destination is also in North direction.

The direction diagram for the path traveled by Vipul is shown below along with the directions:


As can be seen from the diagram above, the distance between the starting and the end points is 28 - 8 = 20 m.
Therefore, the correct answer is 20 m.

Given

1. Rohan walked 40 metres towards North, took a left turn and walked 20 metres.

2. He again took a left turn and walked 40 metres.

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

Therefore, above figure clearly shows the distance from B to A is 20 metres

The direction of B with respect to A is West.

Hence, "20 metres West" is the correct answer.
