# Direction and Distance: Exercise-1

Directions (1-5): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

Six people in two rows facing North and South are A, B, C, D, E and F. B is facing North and is not next to D. The position of D and F are diagonally facing opposite. C, next to F is facing south and E is facing North.

1. Which of the following combination is facing North?

1. ACF
2. BDE
3. AEF
4. BCD

Solution: B, E, and D are facing North Whereas F, C and A are facing South.$$\begin{matrix} B & E & D \\ F & C & A \\ \end{matrix}$$

1. Who stands between A and F?

1. E
2. D
3. C
4. B

Solution: B, E, and D are facing North Whereas F, C and A are facing South.$$\begin{matrix} B & E & D \\ F & C & A \\ \end{matrix}$$ C stands between A and F.

1. If the position of C and D are interchanged. Whose position will be next to that of B?

1. C
2. D
3. E
4. F

Solution: B, E, and D are facing North Whereas F, C and A are facing South.$$\begin{matrix} B & E & D \\ F & C & A \\ \end{matrix}$$ the position of E will remain same.

1. The position of which of the other pair than AB is diagonally opposite to each other?

1. CE
2. DF
3. BC
4. CD

Solution: B, E, and D are facing North Whereas F, C and A are facing South.$$\begin{matrix} B & E & D \\ F & C & A \\ \end{matrix}$$ other than AB, only DF is diagonally opposite to each other.

1. The face direction of which given pair is opposite to each other?

1. CF
2. AC
3. CD
4. AF

Solution: B, E, and D are facing North Whereas F, C and A are facing South.$$\begin{matrix} B & E & D \\ F & C & A \\ \end{matrix}$$ C is facing South whereas D is facing North.

1. A man is facing North. He turns $$90^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$135^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

1. North-West
2. South-West
3. South-East
4. North-East

Solution: The man turns $$90^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$135^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction means the man turns $$45^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction so now he is facing in the South-West direction.

1. Rohit is facing West. He turns $$180^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$45^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

1. North-West
2. South-West
3. South-East
4. North-East

Solution: The man turns $$180^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$45^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction means the man turns $$135^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction so now he is facing in the North-East direction.

1. Ram is facing South-East. He turns $$90^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction and $$135^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

1. North
2. West
3. East
4. South

Solution: The man turns $$90^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction and $$135^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction means the man turns $$45^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction so now he is facing in the South direction.

1. Vikash is facing South-West. He turns $$45^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$45^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

1. North-West
2. South-West
3. South-East
4. North-East

Solution: No change in the direction of Vikash.

1. Aman is facing North-East. He turns $$90^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$45^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

1. North
2. West
3. East
4. South

Solution: The man turns $$90^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction and $$45^{\circ}$$ in the anticlockwise direction means the man turns $$45^{\circ}$$ in the clockwise direction so now he is facing in the East direction.
