Direction Sense Test

11. A girl leaves from her home. She first walks 30 metres in North–west direction and then 30 metres in South–west direction. Next, she walks 30 metres in South-east direction. Finally, she turns towards her house. In which direction is she moving?
 
  • A. North–East
  • B. North–West
  • C. South–East
  • D. South–East
Ans: A.
Sol.


The movements of the girl are as shown in Fig.
(A to B, B to C, C to D, D to A).
Clearly, she is finally moving in the direction DA i.e. North east.
 
 
12. Sathish wants to go to the university. He starts from his home which is in the East and comes to a crossing. The road to the left ends in a theatre, straight ahead is the hospital. In which direction is the university?
 
  • A. East
  • B. North
  • C. West
  • D. East
Ans: B.
Sol.


Starting from his house in the East, Sathish moves westwards. Then, the theatre, which is to the left, will be in the South. The hospital, which is straight ahead, will be to the West. So, the University will be to the North.
 
13. Kashish goes 30 metres North, then turns right and walks 40 metres, then again turns right and walks 20 metres, then again turns right and walks 40 metres. How many metres is he from his original position?
 
  • A. 0 m
  • B. 10 m
  • C. 20 m
  • D. 40 m
Ans: B.
Sol.


The movements of Kashish are as shown in Fig.
( A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E).
Kashish’s distance from his original position A
= AE = (AB – BE) = (AB – CD)
= (30 – 20) m = 10 m.
 
14. Going 50 m to the South of her house, Radhika turns left and goes another 20 m. Then, turning to the North, she goes 30 m and then starts walking to her house. In which direction is she walking now?

15. If A is to the south of B and C is to the east of B, in what direction is A with respect to C?
 
  • A. North east
  • B. North west
  • C. South east
  • D. South west
Ans: D.
Sol.


Clearly comparing the direction of A w.r.t. C is the second diagram with that in the first diagram, A will be south west of C.
