Two boys A and B start at point P. A goes 5 km north then 12 km east. B goes 5 km south then 12 km west. Distance between them?Read the answer and worked solution →Facing south-east, you turn 45 degrees anticlockwise. Now facing:Read the answer and worked solution →Walking north for 6 km then east for 8 km, your bearing from start is:Read the answer and worked solution →A man walks 10 m south, then turns left and walks 5 m, then turns left and walks 10 m. Where is he relative to start?Read the answer and worked solution →Park is 200 m east of office. Hospital is 200 m north of park. Distance from office to hospital?Read the answer and worked solution →At 3 o'clock, the minute hand points to 12 and the hour hand points to 3. What direction is the hour hand pointing?Read the answer and worked solution →From south-west you face north-east. You turn 90 degrees clockwise. Now you face:Read the answer and worked solution →Walking 8 m, then turning right and walking 6 m.

Worked practice questions

Two boys A and B start at point P. A goes 5 km north then 12 km east. B goes 5 km south then 12 km west. Distance between them?

  1. 13 km
  2. 17 km
  3. 26 km
  4. 34 km
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 26 km

1. A ends at (12, 5) from P. 2. B ends at (-12, -5) from P. 3. Difference = (24, 10). 4. Distance = sqrt(24^2 + 10^2) = sqrt(576 + 100) = sqrt(676) = 26. 5. So they are 26 km apart. _Source: SSC CGL Reasoning (Direction Sense), standard PYQ patterns_

Facing south-east, you turn 45 degrees anticlockwise. Now facing:

  1. North-east
  2. South
  3. West
  4. East
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. East

1. SE lies between south and east. 2. Turning 45 degrees anticlockwise from SE moves you towards east. 3. So you now face east. _Source: SSC CGL Reasoning (Direction Sense), standard PYQ patterns_

Walking north for 6 km then east for 8 km, your bearing from start is:

  1. about 53 degrees east of north
  2. 30 degrees east of north
  3. 45 degrees east of north
  4. 60 degrees east of north
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. about 53 degrees east of north

1. The angle from north is arctan(east / north). 2. = arctan(8 / 6). 3. = arctan(4/3). 4. = about 53.13 degrees. 5. So your bearing is about 53 degrees east of north. _Source: SSC CGL Reasoning (Direction Sense), standard PYQ patterns_
