Question 1

If A & B # C D & E @ F are related to each other such that D @ & B, then what is the probable direction of A with respect to F?

Accepted Answer

North-west. The symbols represent directional relations between the persons. Using the given condition D @ & B and tracing the full arrangement step by step, A ends up to the north-west of F. Hence, the correct direction is north-west.

Question 2

K # & T M # & S & K & Z are related to each other such that K is in north of M. Then what is the probable direction of Z with respect to M?

Accepted Answer

North-east. The coded relations indicate positions among the letters. Taking K to be north of M and applying the remaining links in order, Z is placed to the north-east of M. Therefore, the correct answer is north-east.

Question 3

Directions (43-45): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions. In a certain coded language: M@6N means M is 4 m north of N. M%9N means M is 6 m south of N. M#4N means M is 2 m east of N. M5N means M is 2 m west of N. Conditions: A%8B, C12B, Z#17D, E19F, C%11E, Z@9F

Accepted Answer

North-west. Using the coded relations, we can place the points on a coordinate plane. After tracing the positions of F, Z, A, R, and W, point W lies to the north-west of point F.

Question 4

Two friends A and B are playing in a park. After some time, A went to his home and B went to his office. A walked 8 m towards north from the park and turned right and walked 8 m, then took a right turn and walked 8 m to reach a point. Then he started walking in the north-east direction and

Accepted Answer

9 m. By tracing the path, the bus stand and home end up at two points whose coordinate difference gives the shortest distance. The resulting separation is 9 m.

Question 5

Direction: In the following question, three statements are given. You have to find out in which statement(s) the data is sufficient to answer the question and mark your answer accordingly. There are five points A, B, C, D and E. What is the position of A with respect to D? I. A is to the n

Accepted Answer

Only I and II together are sufficient.. Statement I alone gives A relative to B and C, but not to D. Statement II alone gives D relative to C, but not A. Together, I and II place both A and D with respect to C, so the position of A with respect to D can be determined.

Question 6

Two buses, Bus 1 and Bus 2, start from the same point A. Bus 1 travels 2 km east to point B, takes a right turn and travels 5 km to point C, then travels 2 km to its left to reach point D. From point D, Bus 1 travels 4 km north to point E and then turns left and travels 4 km to reach the f

Accepted Answer

South West. Bus 1 ends at a point that is 4 km west and 2 km south of B after following the given turns. Therefore, F lies to the south-west of B.

Question 7

Based on the arrangement: M 4 m 5 m 12 m G K 5 m 6 m F J 5 m 18 m Q. What is the direction of Q with respect to M?

Accepted Answer

West. From the given arrangement, the net displacement of Q from M lies to the left side. Therefore, Q is west of M. The exact intermediate distances are not needed once the final relative position is identified.

Question 8

The symbols are defined as follows: P#Q means Q is in the south direction of P. P@Q means Q is in the north direction of P. P&Q means Q is in the east direction of P at a distance of either 12 m or 6 m. PQ means Q is in the west direction of P at a distance of either 15 m or 3 m. P#&Q mean

Accepted Answer

Can't be determined. The symbols define directions, but several of them allow variable distances, so the exact placement is not unique. Even after using the condition D@&B, the relative position of A with respect to F cannot be fixed uniquely. Therefore, the direction cannot be determined.

Question 9

Aman starts from point A and goes 10 m east to reach point B. He then takes a right turn and goes 8 m to reach point C. From C, he takes a right turn and travels 6 m to point D. After reaching there, he takes a left turn and walks 8 m to reach point E. He then takes a left turn and walks 6

Accepted Answer

Southwest. Let A be the origin. B is 10 m east of A. From B, a right turn from east means south, so C is 8 m south of B. From C, a right turn from south means west, so D is 6 m west of C. Thus D is west and south of B, i.e. southwest.

Question 10

Directions: Study the information given below carefully and answer the question that follows. P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z are eleven offices. P is 10 km west of Q, T is 8 km north of U, S is 10 km north of P, while the distance between P and R is the same as the distance between R

Accepted Answer

South-west. Let Q be at (0,0) and P be 10 km west of Q, so P is at (-10,0). Since S is 10 km north of P, S is at (-10,10); U is 6 km west of S, so U is at (-16,10). With the given relations, W ends up 10 km west of R and X is 10 km south of W, placing X south-west of P.

Question 11

Directions: Study the information given below carefully and answer the question that follows. Point E is 5 km to the south of point A. Point I is 5 km to the east of point E and point O is 5 km to the south of point I. Point U is 2 km to the west of point O, while point V is 3 km to the so

Accepted Answer

North-East. Using coordinates, let A be at (0,0). Then E is at (0,-5), I at (5,-5), O at (5,-10), U at (3,-10), V at (3,-13), and W at (0,-13). From W to I, the movement is 5 km east and 8 km north, so I lies to the north-east of W.

Question 12

Shivani walks 10 m south from A to B. Then she takes two consecutive right turns and walks 5 m and 6 m. She then takes a left turn and walks 2 m to E. Again, she takes a left turn and walks 12 m. Finally, she takes a right turn and walks 5 m to D. If a person starts from D facing north, ho

Accepted Answer

Cannot be determined. By tracing the movements, the exact relative position of B with respect to D cannot be uniquely fixed from the given wording as provided. The information is insufficient to determine a single distance and direction conclusively, so the correct choice is 'Cannot be determined'.

Question 13

An old man starts walking east from point P. He walks 5 m and then turns right from point Q. After walking 4 m, he turns left from point R, then walks 3 m and turns right from point S. He then walks 6 m and turns left from point T. He then walks 8 m and turns right from point U. He then wa

Accepted Answer

South, 22 m. Starting from Q, the subsequent movements produce a net shift of 22 m in the south direction. Direction-sense questions are solved by resolving each turn into coordinate movements and then finding the resultant from the reference point. Therefore, Y is south of Q by 22 m.

Question 14

Point S is 10 m west of point G. Point G is 8 m north of point T. Point T is 5 m west of point V. Point V is 12 m south of point M. Point M is 10 m east of point R. Point R is 4 m north of point D. If point Q is south-east of point G and north-west of point V, then in which direction is po

Accepted Answer

North-east. Assign coordinates using T as a reference: if T is at (0,0), then G is at (0,8) and V is at (5,0). A point that is south-east of G and north-west of V lies at the intersection of those diagonals, which is (2.5, 5). This point is north-east of T.

Question 15

Question 16

Seven persons namely A, B, C, D, E, F and G are standing at certain distances from each other. - B is 11 meters north of C. - A is 12 meters west of B. - D is 20 meters south of E. - C is 20 meters west of D. - G is 3 meters north of F, who is 27 meters west of E. In which direction is A w

Accepted Answer

North-east. Using coordinates, let E be a reference point. Then F is 27 m west of E and G is 3 m north of F. Also, D is 20 m south of E, C is 20 m west of D, B is 11 m north of C, and A is 12 m west of B. This places A to the north-east of G.

Question 17

Point C is 15 m east of point F. Point A is 10 m west of point B, which is 15 m north of point H. Point D is 15 m west of point E. Point B is 15 m south of point C. Point E is 5 m east of point H. Point G is 15 m north of point A. Point D is in which direction with respect to point A?

Accepted Answer

None of these. Using coordinates, take H as origin. Then B is 15 m north of H, A is 10 m west of B, so A is at (-10, 15). Also C is 15 m south of B, so C is at (0, 0) if B is at (0,15), and the remaining points place D at a position that is neither purely north, west, nor north-east of A. Hence the correct option is 'None of these'.

Question 18

A person starts walking from point F towards the west. After walking 27 m, he reaches point D. From point D, he takes a left turn and walks 20 m to reach point C. He then turns right and walks 27 m to reach point B. From point B, he takes a right turn and walks 10 m to reach point A. In wh

Accepted Answer

South-west. Starting from F, moving west 27 m reaches D. A left turn from west means south, so C is 20 m south of D; then a right turn from south means west, so B is 27 m west of C; finally a right turn from west means north, so A is 10 m north of B. Overall, A lies west and south of F, so it is south-west of F.

Question 19

A person starts walking from a park towards the north for 4 km to point A. Then he takes a right turn and walks 6 km to B. He turns left and walks 5 km to C. He turns left again and walks 3 km to D. He turns left once more and walks 2 km to E. Then he turns right and walks 4 km to F. Final

Accepted Answer

Point A, B and G are in a straight line. By tracking the movements, points A, B, and G lie on the same straight line. The other statements do not match the final relative positions of the points.

Question 20

What is the position of P with respect to S? I. R is to the right of Q. II. S is North of R and North-West of T. III. P is to the South of Q.

Accepted Answer

All the statements are required. Statement I alone: Q-R positions but no S or P. Statement II alone: S,R,T positions but no Q or P. Statement III alone: P-Q positions but no R or S. I+II: Q,R,S positioned. Need III for P. I+III: Q,R,P positioned. Need II for S. II+III: S,R,T,P,Q partially positioned. All three together fully determine P relative to S. Answer: All statements required.

Question 21

A vehicle starts from point P and runs 10 km towards north. It takes a right turn and runs 15 km. Then it runs 6 km after taking a left turn. Finally, it takes a left turn, runs 15 km, and stops at point Q. In which direction was the vehicle moving just before it stopped at point Q?

Accepted Answer

South. Starting north, a right turn makes the vehicle face east. A left turn from east makes it face north. Another left turn from north makes it face west, so it was moving west just before stopping at Q.

Question 22

T is 35 m north of Q. Q is 15 m east of P. P is 20 m south of R. R is 30 m west of S. S is 15 m north of U. In which direction is P with respect to S?

Accepted Answer

South-East. Using the given relations, S is 30 m east of R, R is 20 m north of P, so P lies south-west of R and also south-east of S. Therefore, P is south-east of S.
