Direction Sense Test

21. From his house, Lokesh went 15 kms to the North. Then he turned West and covered 10 kms. Then, he turned South and covered 5 kms. Finally, turning to East, he covered 10 kms. In which direction is he from his house?
 
  • A. East
  • B. West
  • C. South
  • D. North
Ans: D.
Sol.


The movements of Lokesh are as shown in Fig.
(A to B, B to C, C to D and D to E).
Clearly, his final position is E which is to the North of his house at A.
 
 
22. A, B, C and D are playing cards. A and B are partners. D faces towards North. If A faces towards West, then who faces towards South?
 
  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. D
  • D. C
Ans: D.
Sol.


As per the data, D faces North.
A faces towards West.
So, its partner B will face towards A and hence towards East.
So. C who will face D will face towards South.
 
 
23. Starting from a point P, Sachin walked 20 metres towards South. He turned left and walked 30 metres. He then turned left and walked 20 metres. He again turned left and walked 40 metres and reached a point Q. How far and in which direction is the point Q from the point P?
 
  • A. 20 metres West
  • B. 10 metres East
  • C. 10 metres West
  • D. 10 metres North
Ans: C.
Sol.


The movements of Sachin are as shown in Fig.
(P to B, B to C, C to D and D to Q)
Clearly, distance of Q from P = PQ = (DQ – PD) = (DQ – BC)
= (40 – 30) m = 10 m.
Also Q is to the West of P.
Q is 10 m West of P.
 
24. A man leaves for his office from his house. He walks towards East. After moving a distance of 20 m, he turns towards South and walks 10 m. Then he walks 35 m towards the West and further 5 m towards the North. He then turns towards East and walks 15 m. What is the straight distance in metres between his initial and final positions?
 
  • A. 0 m
  • B. 3 m
  • C. 4 m
  • D. 6 m
Ans: D.
Sol.


The movements of the man from A to F are as shown in Fig.
Clearly, DC = AB + EF.
F is in line with A.
Also. AF = (BC – DE) = 5 m.
So. the man is 5 metres away from his initial position.
 
25. There are four towns P, Q, R and T. Q is to the South-west of P, R is to the east of Q and south-east of P, and T is to the north of R in line with QP. In which direction of P is T located?
 
  • A. South–east
  • B. South
  • C. North–east
  • D. East
Ans: C.
Sol.


Clearly, the arrangement according to the given directions is as shown.
So, T lies to the north east of P.
