Radha moves towards South-East a distance of 7 km, then she moves towards West and travels a distance of 14 km. From here she moves towards North-West a distance of 7 km and finally she moves a distance of 4 km towards east. How far is she now from the starting point?

Answer: C

Correct answer: 10 km

The south-east and north-west legs are equal and opposite in their north-south parts, so those cancel; both also carry her west, and with the 14 km westward leg she ends 14 km west of the start. The final 4 km back towards the east leaves her \[ 14 - 4 = \mathbf{10}\text{ km} \] away.

At sunrise, a man is walking and finds his shadow falling exactly to his right. Which direction is he facing ?

Answer: B

Correct answer: South

The sun rises in the east, so shadows at sunrise point towards the west. If west lies to his right, then he must be facing south, since a person facing south has west on the right hand.

Four friends A, B, C and D live in a same locality. The house of B is in the east of A's house but in the north of C's house. The house of C is in the west of D's house. D's house is in which direction of A's house?

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.

Reena walked from A to B in the East 10 feet. Then she turned to the right and walked 3 feet. Again she turned to the right and walked 14 feet. How far is she from A?

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, \[ \sqrt{4^2+3^2} = \sqrt{25} = \mathbf{5}\text{ feet} \]

A person walks 5 km towards the south, turns left and walks 3 km, then turns left again and walks 5 km. How far is he from his starting point ?

One morning after sunrise, Suresh was standing facing a pole. The shadow of the pole fell exactly to his right. To which direction was he facing?

Answer: B
