Hints & Solutions

1. Solution (2) Anil is (6  3 2) meters distance will have to be
Let the initial position of Suresh be O. walked.
4. Solution (2)

So, it is clear from the picture that Suresh's final

direction is south, then his initial direction will be
east.
So,
2. Solution (2) It is clear from the picture that the north direction
Let the starting position of Rahim be O. will become south-east.

5. Solution (4)
F ÷ Q  F, is to the south of Q.
Q + RQ is to the east of R.
R × S  R, is north of S.
So it is clear from the picture that the starting point
is in the west direction from the final point.

3. Solution (2)

Hence,
It is clear from the figure that S is to the south-west
of Q.

BCD is a right angled triangle.

6. Solution (4)
Therefore,
One evening, just before sunset, Ram and Mohan
BD  (BC)2  (CD)2 (Pythagoras theorem) were standing opposite each other and talking.
BD  32  32
BD  9  9
BD  18
BD  3 2
Distance between Anil to Raju = 3 2
Hence, it is clear from the picture that Ram's face is
The distance covered by Rahul to reach Anil via
in the north direction because at the time of sunset
Raju is (3 + 3) = 6m
the sun will be in the west and the shadow will
Therefore, the total time taken by Rahul to come always be in the east. Mohan's face will be in the
back to the starting point passing through Raju and
south direction.

7. Solution (2) WR = 6 km
OR  (OA)2  (WR)2 (Pythagoras theorem)

OR  82  62
OR  64  36
OR  100
OR = 10 km
OXY is a right angled triangle.
So,
Therefore,
It is clear from the picture that when Ram reaches
OX = 6 km
his office, his face is in the east, so when Ram
XY = 8 km
leaves the house, his face will be in the west
direction. OY  (OX)2  (XY)2 (Pythagoras theorem)

OY  62  82
8. Solution (2)
I am standing facing the bank of a river, some freely OY  36  64
flowing object in water is going from my right to OY  100
left and the river is flowing from west to east then, OY = 10 km
So, Hence, both A and B are at a distance of 10 KM
from their starting point.

10. Solution (2)

Let the initial position of Sohan be O.

It is clear from the picture that my face is in the

south direction.

9. Solution (2)
Let the initial position be O.

Distance of Sohan from starting point to final point,

(10 + 5) = 15
Hence,
It is clear from the figure that the starting point is
OWR is a right angled triangle. 15 meters away from the final point and is in the
Therefore, east direction.
OW = 8 km
