20 questions in the pattern of MAH MBA CET, NMAT and SNAP. Each question is marked with the exams it suits. Answer it, then open the step-by-step solution.
Point A is 25 m East of point E. Point B is 10 m North of point A. Point D is 35 m North of point B. In which direction is point D from point E?
Place E at (0, 0). Then A = (25, 0), B = (25, 10), D = (25, 45).
D is at (25, 45), which is North-East of E.
One morning, Deepak was standing facing East. On which side of him did his shadow fall?
In the morning the sun is in the East, so shadows fall towards the West.
Facing East, the West is behind him.
One evening, Suresh was standing facing North. On which side of him did his shadow fall?
In the evening the sun is in the West, so shadows fall towards the East.
Facing North, the East is to his right.
A signboard arrow points South. It is rotated 135° anticlockwise 4 times. In which direction does it point now?
Total rotation = 4 × 135° = 540° anticlockwise.
Final direction = North.
Neha walks 60 m towards the East, turns left and walks 45 m, turns right and walks 20 m and then turns right and walks 45 m. How far is Neha from the starting point?
60 m East → 45 m North → 20 m East → 45 m South.
Net movement: 80 m East.
Distance = 80 m.
A man is facing North. He turns 180° left, then right, then left. Which direction is he facing now?
Measure clockwise from North. Start: 0°.
left 180° → −180°; right 90° → +90°; left 90° → −90°. Final = 180° = South.
Ravi walks 45 m towards the North, turns right and walks 10 m, turns right and walks 25 m and then turns right and walks 10 m. How far is Ravi from the starting point?
45 m North → 10 m East → 25 m South → 10 m West.
Net movement: 20 m North.
Distance = 20 m.
Vikram walks 25 m towards the East, turns right and walks 10 m and then turns right and walks 55 m. In which direction is Vikram now from the starting point?
25 m East → 10 m South → 55 m West.
Net movement: 30 m West and 10 m South.
So Vikram is South-West of the start.
Vikram walks 50 m towards the South, turns right and walks 20 m, turns right and walks 50 m and then turns left and walks 25 m. How far is Vikram from the starting point?
50 m South → 20 m West → 50 m North → 25 m West.
Net movement: 45 m West.
Distance = 45 m.
A man is facing East. He turns 135° right, then right. Which direction is he facing now?
Measure clockwise from North. Start: 90°.
right 135° → +135°; right 90° → +90°. Final = 315° = North-West.
A man is facing South. He turns 135° right, then right, then 135° right. Which direction is he facing now?
Measure clockwise from North. Start: 180°.
right 135° → +135°; right 90° → +90°; right 135° → +135°. Final = 180° = South.
Rahul walks 10 m towards the East, turns right and walks 55 m, turns left and walks 50 m, turns left and walks 25 m and then turns right and walks 15 m. In which direction is Rahul now from the starting point?
10 m East → 55 m South → 50 m East → 25 m North → 15 m East.
Net movement: 75 m East and 30 m South.
So Rahul is South-East of the start.
A signboard arrow points South. It is rotated 135° clockwise 6 times. In which direction does it point now?
Total rotation = 6 × 135° = 810° clockwise.
Final direction = West.
Sanjay walks 20 m towards the East, turns right and walks 15 m, turns left and walks 20 m and then turns right and walks 15 m. How far and in which direction is Sanjay from the starting point?
20 m East → 15 m South → 20 m East → 15 m South.
Net movement: 40 m East and 30 m South.
Distance = √(40² + 30²) = 50 m, towards the South-East.
Divya walks 55 m towards the West, turns left and walks 40 m, turns right and walks 20 m and then turns left and walks 60 m. How far and in which direction is Divya from the starting point?
55 m West → 40 m South → 20 m West → 60 m South.
Net movement: 75 m West and 100 m South.
Distance = √(75² + 100²) = 125 m, towards the South-West.
One evening, Manoj was standing facing North. On which side of him did his shadow fall?
In the evening the sun is in the West, so shadows fall towards the East.
Facing North, the East is to his right.
A signboard arrow points West. It is rotated 90° anticlockwise 3 times. In which direction does it point now?
Total rotation = 3 × 90° = 270° anticlockwise.
Final direction = North.
Point A is 35 m South of point B. Point E is 10 m South of point A. Point D is 40 m North of point E. In which direction is point D from point B?
Place B at (0, 0). Then A = (0, -35), E = (0, -45), D = (0, -5).
D is at (0, -5), which is South of B.
Nikhil walks 60 m towards the North, turns left and walks 20 m, turns right and walks 25 m and then turns right and walks 45 m. In which direction is Nikhil now from the starting point?
60 m North → 20 m West → 25 m North → 45 m East.
Net movement: 25 m East and 85 m North.
So Nikhil is North-East of the start.
Point B is 20 m South of point C. Point E is 25 m West of point B. Point D is 45 m North of point E. In which direction is point D from point C?
Place C at (0, 0). Then B = (0, -20), E = (-25, -20), D = (-25, 25).
D is at (-25, 25), which is North-West of C.
