Q1.Ali started walking North. After a while, he turned left, then turned right, and finally turned right. Which direction is he facing now?
Correct Answer: C
Initial direction: North. Turn left -> West. Turn right -> North. Turn right -> East. Ali is facing East.
Q2.A person walks 3 km North, then 4 km East, and then 3 km West. How far is he from the starting point?
Correct Answer: D
Net displacements: North = 3 km, East = 4 - 3 = 1 km. Distance from origin = √(3² + 1²) = √10 ≈ 3.16 km.
Q3.A man walks 3km northwards and then turns left and goes 2 km. He again goes left and walks 3 km. He turns right and walks straight. In which direction he is walking?
Correct Answer: D
Starting North: turning left leads West. Turning left again leads South. Turning right from South leads West. He is currently facing West.
Q4.A man standing upside down with his face towards the south, where will his left hand point?
Correct Answer: A
An upright person facing south has their left hand pointing East. Standing upside down flips the vertical axis but preserves the relative left/right direction of hands relative to facing. Left hand still points East.
Q5.A person travels 12 km north, then 15 km east, 15 km west, and finally 18 km south. How far is he from the starting point?
Correct Answer: C
Net East-West movement = 15 - 15 = 0 km. Net North-South movement = 12 km North - 18 km South = 6 km South. Distance = 6 km.
Q6.I went 15 km to the North, then turned West and covered 10 km. Then I turned South and covered 5 km, and then I turned East and covered 10 km. In which direction am I going and how far from starting point?
Correct Answer: B
North 15 km, then South 5 km results in a net displacement of 10 km North. West 10 km and East 10 km cancel each other out. Thus, you are exactly 10 km North of the starting point.
Q7.You travel 4 km south from your home to meet your friend. To return home, you should travel?
Correct Answer: B
Since your friend lives exactly South of your home, traveling back home requires moving in the opposite direction, which is North.
Q8.Ali walks 5km east, then 4 km north, How far is he from starting point?
Correct Answer: B
By the Pythagorean theorem: d = sqrt(5^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(25 + 16) = sqrt(41) ≈ 6.4 km.
Q9.Ali walk 10 meter to north, turn right and walk 5 meter , turns right again and walk 10 meter. What is his distance and direction from his starting?
Correct Answer: D
Ali moves 10 m North, then 5 m East (right), then 10 m South (right again). The North-South movements cancel out, leaving him exactly 5 meters East (to the right) of his starting point.
Q10.If a man faces north, then turns left, and again turns left, what is his current direction?
Correct Answer: D
Starting facing North: First left turn leads to West. Second left turn leads to South. So the current direction is South.
Q11.If you are facing the Arabian Sea, which direction would India be from you?
Correct Answer: B
The Arabian Sea is to the west of India. If you face the Arabian Sea (looking West), the Indian landmass is behind you (to the East).
Q12.If a man is moving towards north side after sometime turns right so tell me the current direction?
Correct Answer: B
Turning right (90 degrees clockwise) from a North direction aligns you to face East.
Q13.If you are standing facing East and make three left turns, which direction are you facing now?
Correct Answer: B
Starting East: 1st left is North. 2nd left is West. 3rd left is South.
Q14.A man is facing west. He turned 45 degrees in the clockwise direction, then another 180 degrees in the same direction, and then 270 degrees in the anticlockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?
Correct Answer: D
Tracking angles from West (270°): 1) Clockwise 45°: 270 + 45 = 315° (NW). 2) Clockwise 180°: 315 + 180 = 495° (which is 495 - 360 = 135°, SE). 3) Anticlockwise 270°: 135 - 270 = -135° (which is 360 - 135 = 225°, SW). Thus, he faces South-West.
