P is 60 m South-East of Q. R is 60 m North-East of Q. R is in which direction of P?

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

Correct answer: A. North

1. Place Q at origin. P at (60 cos 45°, −60 sin 45°). R at (60 cos 45°, +60 sin 45°). 2. R − P vector: (0, 120 sin 45°), pointing due North. 3. Therefore R is North of P. _Source: KMAT Karnataka 2023 PYQ Q.22_

A and B start from point X. A goes 5 km north, then 12 km east. B goes 13 km east directly. Distance between A and B:

  1. 5 km
  2. 8 km
  3. 12 km
  4. 13 km
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 5 km

1. A is at (12, 5) after 5 km N + 12 km E. 2. B is at (13, 0) after 13 km E. 3. Distance = √((13-12)² + (0-5)²) = √(1 + 25) = √26 ≈ 5.1; closest 5 km. _Source: KMAT Karnataka 2022 PYQ Q.111_

A man walks 5 km north, turns right and walks 3 km, turns right and walks 5 km. How far from the starting point?

  1. 3 km
  2. 5 km
  3. 8 km
  4. 13 km
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 3 km

1. Start at origin. After 5 km N: (0,5). 2. Turn right (east) 3 km: (3,5). Turn right (south) 5 km: (3,0). 3. Distance from start = 3 km. _Source: KMAT Karnataka 2022 PYQ Q.115_
