    Chapter 6 INTRODUCTION This part of reasoning comes under the category of common sense reasoning. In fact, this segment gauges the sense of direction of'a candidate. CONCEPT OF DIRECTION In our day to day life, we make our concept of direction after seeing the position of sun. In fact, this is a truth that sun rises in the East and goes down in the West. Thus when we stand facing sunrise, then our front is called East while our back is called West. At this position our left hand is in the Northward and the right hand is in the Southward. Let us see the following direction map that will make your concept more clear. CONCEPT OF DEGREE Let us see the following picture Direction Map North North-West North-East Direction and Distance South-West South-East South eee a 2 Shortcut Approach \ To remember four main | word'NEWS.' Pieris directions, always remember the Note: in paper North is always on top be while South is always in bottom. (Moy) 9519019 uy Direction and Distance * Angle between two consecutive main directions is always 90°. + Angle between two consecutive subdirections is always 90° + Angle between a main direction and a subdirection is always 90°, CONCEPT OF TURN Right turn = Clockwise turn Left turn = Anticlockwise turn Let us understand it through pictorial representation: Right turn Left turn 2 | is ‘S 5 ba g 5 5 5 Right tum Tel um (i) (ii) Right turn Left tum Gi) (iv) ))EXAMPLE) 1. Raman walked 2 km West from his office and then turned South covering 4 km. Finally, he waked 3km towards East and again move 1 km West. How far is Raman from his 1 position. Sol. Raman starts from his office A, moves 2 km West upto B, then 4 km to the South uptoC, 3 km East upto D and finally I km West upto E, Thus his distance from the initial position AE=BC=4km. B 2km A ¥ z < Lkm_p om c 2km Remember * If our face is towards North, than after left turn our face will be towards West while after right turn, it will be towards East + If our face is towards South, then after left turn our face will be towards East and after right turn it will be towards West. + Ifour face is towards East, then after left turn our face will be forwards North and after right turn it will be towards South. + If our face is towards West, then after left turn our face will be towards South and after right turn it will be towards North, If our face is towards North-West, then after left turn our face will be towards South-West and after right turn it will be towards North-East. If our face is towards South-West, then after left turn our face will be towards South-East and after right turn it will be towards North-West. If our face is towards South-East, then after left turn our face will be towards North-East and after right turn it will be towards South-West. Tf our face is towards North-East, then after left turn our face will be towards North-West and after right- turn it will be towards South-East Direction and Distance 3 CONCEPT OF MINIMUM DISTANCE Minimum distance between initial and last point he =b+P where, h = Hypotenuse b=Base 5 7 P= Perpendicular Remember this important rule is known as ‘Pythogoras Theorem’ )) EXAMPLE 2. Rashmi walks 10 km towards North. She walks 6 km towards South then. From here she moves 3 km towards East. How far and in which direction is she with reference to her starting point? Sol. Itis clear, Rashmi moves from A 10 km Northwards upto B, then moves 6 km Southwards upto C, then turns towards East and walks 3km upto D. Then, AC=(AB-BC)=10-6=4 km CD=3km. Rashmi’s distance from starting point A =AD= JAC? +CD? = V4? 43? = V16+9 = V25 =Skm From figure, D is to the North-East of A. SHADOW CASE In Morning/Sunrise Time (@) Ifa person facing towards Sun, the shadow will be towards his back or in West. (b) Ifa person facing towards South, the shadow will be towards his right. (©) Ifa person facing towards West, the shadow will be towards his front (@ Ifa person facing towards North, the shadow will be towards his left. In Evening/Sunset Time (@) Ifa person facing towards Sun, the shadow will be towards his back or in East (b) Ifa person facing towards North, the shadow will be towards his right. (©) Ifa person facing towards East, the shadow will be towards his front (e) Ifa person facing towards South, the shadow will be towards his left. Note : At 12:00 noon there is no shadow because the rays of the sun are vertically downward. 32 Direction and Distance ))EXAMPLE) 3. Early morning after sunrise, Rajesh was stan his house in such a way th: as falling exactly behind him. He starts walking straight and walks 5 m. He turns to his left and walks 3 mand again turning to his left walks 2m. Now in which direction is he from his starting point? Sol. The shadow of Rajesh was falling exactly behind him. So, he was facing towards East. Diagram clearly shows that Rajesh was in North-East with reference to the starting point.

In fact, this segment gauges the sense of direction of a candidate. In every objective competitive examinations, these type of questions are asked. Particularly, in banking exams, these questions can he seen in every exam. This is the reason, examinees are required to pay special attention towards such questions, Concept of Direction In our day to day life, we make our concept of direction after seeing the position of sun. In fact, this Is a truth that sun rises in the East and goes down in the west. ‘Thus when we stand facing sunrise, then our front is called East while our back is called West.
