Direction Sense Test Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: North

Starting eastward, each right turn swings him a quarter circle clockwise: east, then south, then west, then north. The left turn part-way through and the final right turn bring him back to facing north.

Answer: C

Correct answer: 11 km

Work backwards from the common point C. Arun’s legs are north 2, east 3, north 4, east 5, so relative to A he has moved 8 east and 6 north, meaning A lies 8 km west and 6 km south of C. Amit’s legs are north 2, west 3, north 4, so relative to B he has moved 3 west and 6 north, meaning B lies 3 km east and 6 km south of C. Both starting points are the same 6 km south of C, so the distance between them is purely east-west: \( 8+3 = 11 \) km.

Answer: B

First girl facing North
Then she rotates 100º clock wise => 10º ES
Then again she rotates 190º anti clock wise => for 100º it is North and more 90º means West.
Therefore, the new direction of the girl is West.

Answer: A

Correct answer: North

Standing upright and facing west, his left hand would point south. Inverting him - head down, legs up - turns his body through 180 degrees about the axis he is facing along, which exchanges left and right while leaving the facing direction alone. His left hand therefore points north. The same reasoning applies to anyone lying face down or hanging inverted: the facing is unchanged, the handedness is reversed.

Answer: A

Starting From his house, Sumanth walks 200 feet straight towards North; we can write it as \(N_{200}\). Similarly, the other distances and directions can be considered and written as follows : (Notice that he covers 300 yards towards East; one yard = 3 feet and hence 300 yards = 900 feet)

 \(N_{200}S_{100}E_{900}\)Adding all south and all North distances and finding the net result, and also adding all East and all West distances and finding the net result, this can further be summarized as : \(N_{100}E_{900}\)

 Thus, the direction from his original position is North-East.

Answer: C

Correct answer: 1 km

Take the start as the origin with east positive. She goes 8 km east and then 13 km back, which is west, leaving her at \( (-5,0) \) and facing west. A left turn faces south, so 4 km gives \( (-5,-4) \); a left turn faces east, so 5 km gives \( (0,-4) \); a left turn faces north, so 3 km gives \( (0,-1) \). She is 1 km from where she began.

Answer: B

Early morning suns rise at east, if his shadow falls exactly behind him that means he is facing towards east. now he walks 5mt towards east, then he turns left that means he facing towards north and walk 3mt and if he turn left then he is facing towards west and he walk only 3 kms thats why man is in north east direction from starting point.

Answer: A

Correct answer: 5 km

Anticlockwise from south is east, not west - that is the step this item turns on. From the origin: 1 km south gives \( (0,-1) \); turning 90 degrees anticlockwise to face east, 2 km gives \( (2,-1) \); a left turn faces north, so 1 km gives \( (2,0) \); a right turn faces east, so 2 km gives \( (4,0) \); and a final anticlockwise turn faces north, so 3 km gives \( (4,3) \). The distance is \[ \sqrt{4^2+3^2} = 5\ \mathrm{km}. \]

Answer: A

Correct answer: South-East

Take the relations in the order they are written. \( P \% Q \) fixes P east of Q. \( Q + R \) fixes Q north of R, so R is displaced south from Q. \( R - S \) fixes R west of S, so S is displaced east from R. S is therefore both south and east of Q - south-east. The first relation involving P is not needed for this question and is there to be discarded.

Answer: B

Correct answer: 13 miles towards south-west

Take the start as the origin with east and north positive. North 20 gives \( (0,20) \); east 25 gives \( (25,20) \); facing east, a right turn faces south, so 40 gives \( (25,-20) \); another right turn faces west, so 30 gives \( (-5,-20) \); facing west, a left turn faces south, so 12 gives \( (-5,-32) \); and 20 north gives \( (-5,-12) \). The distance is \[ \sqrt{5^2+12^2} = \sqrt{169} = 13\ \mathrm{miles}, \] and being west and south of the origin, the direction is south-west.
