Hints and solution

1. (West)
10. (3)
2. (South)
He is in south direction from stating point ‘Now’.

11. (1)
3. (North East)

4. (North East) Distance = (2 + 2)2 + (4 1)

1)2 = 5km

12. (2)

13. (3)
5. (15 km)
AE = DE + CB = 15

6. (17 km South East)

7. (South East) Distance of the dotted line at right side of the diagram
8. (3 sqr root 41) = 302 + 502 = 40m
So start to end distance = (180 120)2 + 802
9. (10 Meters West)
 5

= 602 + 802 = 100km Hence the required answer is ’45 m East’.

19. (1)
14. (1)

Hence finally Sujata will face towards North.

20. (2)
According to P % Q + R – S
15. (4)

S is in the South-East of Q.

21. (1)

Distance = 152 + (20  5)2 = 15 2m

16. (4) In the morning sun rises in the East. Hence then any
shadow falls in the West. Since Nikharia's shadow
was exactly to the right of Nivedita. Hence Nikharia
is facing towards North.

22. (2)
P is in South-West of Y.

17. (4)

Required distance = AE
= AG2 + EG2
= (90  30)2 + (100  20)2
Hence required direction is South-West
West
= (60)2 + (80)2
18. (4) = 3600 + 6400
= 10000 = 100 m

23. (3)

Required distance = AF
= 30 + 15 = 45 m
From the above diagram, F is in East direction from A.
 6

Therefore, it is clear that he is the North from his

house. 25. (1)
24. (3)

It is clear from the diagrams that new name of West Required distance = AE
will become South-East. = 20 + 15
= 35 m towards east.
