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 south of point U. Point W is 3 km to the west of point V and point X is 5 km to the north of point W. What is the direction of point I with respect to point W?
- North-West
- West
- North-East
- East
Correct answer: North-East
Solution
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.

- 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 covered a distance of 13 m, then started walking south and covered a distance of 12 m to reach the bus stand, and finally turned left and walked 6 m to reach home. What is the shortest distance between the home and the bus stand?

- 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 final destination point F. Bus 2 starts from A and travels 3 km west to point O. From point O, Bus 2 takes a right turn and travels 7 km to point P, then travels 2 km to its right to reach point Q, then travels 13 km south to reach point R. From point R, Bus 2 takes a left turn and travels 1 km to reach point S and stops there. Suppose an imaginary point X is in the north-west of A; from there, a perpendicular is dropped on a point L which is in line with O and B, and the total distance between point L and B is 17 km. In which direction is point F with respect to point B?
