Solution:
- From point A, Swati started walking in south direction. She walked for 4 m and took a right turn. Next she walked 5 m and turned to her left. Next she walked for 3 m and turned to her right. Next she walked 4 m and turned to her right again. Next she walked 15 m and turned to her right again and stopped at point B after walking 7 m. Find distance AB.
A) 2√22 m
B) 3√21 m
C) 2√19 m
D) 4√17 m
E) None of these
View AnswerOption E
Solution:
AB = √(82 +22) = 2√17 m - Point P is 10 m west of point Q. Point R is 4 m north of point P. Point T is 3 m east of point S and point S is 5 m south of point Q. What is the direction of point R with respect to point T?

- Sheetal started from point in South direction. After walking for 5 km she took a right turn. Now she walked another 5 km and took a left turn. Then after walking for 2 km she took a right turn. After covering more 2 km she turned 45o in clockwise direction. She is facing which direction now?
A) South West
B) South East
C) North East
D) North West
E) None of these
View AnswerOption B
Solution:
Directions (7-8): Point P is 5 m south of point A. Point T is 8 m east of point Q. Point Z is 4 m west of point V. Point P is 6 m west of point B. Point V is 6 m south of point T. Point Q is 4 m south of point B.
- Find distance AZ.
A) 5√13 m
B) 6√13 m
C) 4√14 m
D) 7√15 m
E) 3√11 m
View AnswerOption A
Solution:
Vertical distance = 5+4+6 = 15 m
Horizontal distance = (PB) + (QT – CV) = 6 + (8-4) = 10 m
So AZ = √(152 + 102) = 5√13 m - A person starts from point B in north direction. Walks for 6 m and reaches point C, takes a right turn walks for 5 m reaches point F. Again he takes a right turn, walks for 3 m, reaches point H, now takes a left turn, reaches point K, now takes a final right turn to reach point T. Find the area enclosed by points B, Q, T, K, H, F and C.
A) 58m2 Â
B) 65m2Â Â
C) 71m2Â Â
D) 76m2Â Â
E) None of these
View Answer Option C
Solution:
The area will be = Ar. of rectangle QCFD + Ar. of DHKT = 10*5 + 3*7 = 71m2 Â
Directions (9-10): Point A is 8 m west of point B. Point E is 2 m east of point F. Point G is 3 m east of point H. Point E is 3 m north of point of point D. Point C is 9 m west of point D. Point G is 9 m north of point F. Point C is 6 m south of point B.
- Find distance AH.
A) 7√6 m
B) 7√5 m
C) 6√6 m
D) 6√5 m
E) None of these
View Answer Option D
Solution:
Vertical distance = GF – (CB – ED) = 9 – (6-3) = 6
Horizontal distance = AB + (CD – (HG + FE)) = 8 + (9 – (3+2) = 12
Required distance AH = √(62 + 122) = 6√5 m - A person starts from point G in east direction. Walks for 6 m, takes a right turn, now walks for 5 m. Now he takes a left turn, walks for 3 m, then after two consecutive right turns he reaches point E. Find the distance travelled by him to reach point E.
A) 27 m
B) 25 m
C) 23 m
D) 24 m
E) 28 m
ÂView Answer Option B
Solution:
6 + 5+ 3 + (9-5) + (3+4) = 25 m
10x mam??
ty mam :))))))
sir first q.. its 12
where 12 ??
Ans is 2√41 m
Q9. G is to the west of H?
Is it possible to calculate!?

moving ͸ km towards north direction to point then
takeƒright turn and move 18km to reach point R, then
takeƒleft turn and move 12km to reach point S. Point P,
andlies inƒsame line. Distance betweenandis
half of the distance between pointand R. Busstarts
to move toward west 2km more than point and
from depot and reach point W. than take ƒ right turn
and walk 18km to reach point U. U,andlies in the
same line as distance of and is double of the
distance between and V. from point bus take ƒ
right turn and reach point S. Pointlies betweenand
in exact midway.

(e) Can’t determine.
Two buses A and B starts their journey from same depot
but not necessary in the same order . Bus A starts
moving 6 km towards north direction to point P then
take right turn and move 18km to reach point R, then

Q and R lies in same line .Distance between P and Q is
half of the distance between point Q and R .Bus B starts
to move toward west 2km more than point Q and R
from depot and reach point W . then take right turn
and move 18km to reach point U .U, V and W lies in the
