The directions irrespective of checkpoints that he follows from his home to the multiplex are mentioned in the follwoing note: Walk 100 m to the north and you reach Suresh Chand Saree Store. Take a left turn from here. Walk 40 m straight from the previous point and you reach RBS Degree College. Take a right turn from here. Walk 80 m straight from the previous point and you reach Khandari crossing. Take a right turn again from here. Walk 20 m straight from the previous point and you reach Sarv Multiplex. How far and in which direction is the end point of Ramavtar from the multiplex? a) 15m, east b) 40m, east c) 20m, east d) 40m, west Correct Answer: B From the diagram above, we can observe that when Ramavtar reaches the end point his distance from Sarv Multiplex is {80 – (20 + 20)} = 40 m And the end point is in east direction from Sarv Multiplex. Hence, option B is the correct answer. Incorrect Answer: B From the diagram above, we can observe that when Ramavtar reaches the end point his distance from Sarv Multiplex is {80 – (20 + 20)} = 40 m And the end point is in east direction from Sarv Multiplex.
