  2. 15 m East

  3. 25 m East

  4. 25 m North

    5. Answer:

    25 m East
    Solution:

    Direction Sense Test

    The distance between Deepak and starting point = PT

    PT = PS+ST

    PT = 15m + 10 m

    PT = 25 m

    And, T is to the East of P.

Question: 7 -

Ramesh is driving towards the North. After travelling 2 km, he turns to his right and covers 5 km. Then he turns to his left and covers 2 km. Finally, he turns to his left and covers 5 km. How far is he from the starting point and in which direction he is driving?

  1. 4 km West

  2. 2 km West

  3. 4 km North

  4. 2 Km East

    5. Answer:

    4 km West
    Solution:

    Direction Sense Test

    The distance between the initial and final position of Ramesh = AE = AB+CD.

    So, AE = 2+2 = 4 km and It is clear from the diagram that Ramesh is driving in the West direction.

Question: 8 -

Tom left for his office in his car. He travelled 5 km towards the North and then 10 km towards the East. He then travelled 3 km towards the South. Further, he turned to the West and travelled 2 km.

  2. 7 km East

  3. 8 km South

  4. 8 km East

    5. Answer:

    8 km East
    Solution:

    Direction Sense Test

    A and F are in the same line, and F lies to the East of A.

    Distance from the starting point = A F = BC - DE

    AF = 10 - 2 = 8 km

    So, Tom is 8 km East from the starting point A.

Question: 10 -

Geeta walks 20 m towards north then she walks 12 m towards the South. Now, she walks 6 m towards east. How far and in which direction is she from the starting point?

Options:

    Solution:

    Direction Sense Test Direction Sense Test

    AC = 20 - 12 = 8 km

    CD = 6 m

    AD2 = 82 + 62

    AD2 = 64 + 36

    AD2 = 100

    AD = 10 m

    D is towards North-East of the starting point A.
