Direction Sense Test Questions and Answers

Answer: A

Correct answer: South-East

B lies east of A and north of C, so C is south of B and therefore south-east of A. D lies east of C, which puts it further east again and still to the south of A - that is, to A’s south-east.

Answer: B

Correct answer: 5 feet

She goes 10 feet east, 3 feet south, then 14 feet west, which leaves her 4 feet west and 3 feet south of A. By Pythagoras, \[ \sqrt{4^2+3^2} = \sqrt{25} = \mathbf{5}\text{ feet} \]

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: B

Correct answer: 3 km

Facing south, a left turn points him east; after 3 km east, another left turn points him north. The 5 km south and 5 km north cancel, leaving 3 km east.

\[\text{Distance from start} = 3 \text{ km}\]

Answer: B

Correct answer: South

In the morning the sun is in the east, so every shadow points west. The pole’s shadow ran westward and fell to Suresh’s right, so west was on his right hand and he was facing south.

Answer: C

Rohit's distance from the starting point A will be
AE = AD+DE = 20 + 15 = 35 metre

And direction with reference to the starting point is east

Answer: A

Please refer to the explanation image. 
The man firstly faces the direction OA. On moving 45 degree clockwise[Please check carefully always if clockwise or anticlockwise], he faces the direction OB.
Now again he moved 180 degree clockwise, now he will be facing OC. From here he moved 270 degree anticlockwise, Finally he is facing OD, which is South west.

Answer: C

Correct answer: North

The eastward and westward legs cancel - 10 km west and then 10 km east - leaving \( 15 - 5 = 10 \) km northward. So he is to the north of his house.

Answer: A

Correct answer: 20 km.

The northward and southward legs cancel - 20 km north and then 20 km south - while the sideways moves come to \( 40 \) west and \( 20 \) east. He finishes 20 km from where he began.

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.
