A, B, C and D are four cities. B is north-west of A. C lies to the south-east of B and south-west of A on the line DA. In which direction is D situated from A?
Explanation:
Based on standard interpretations of this spatial puzzle, the line connecting A and B is the North-West/South-East axis. If D is on the line continuing from A through B (DA), D is situated to the North-West of A.
Suddenly she came out of her house and started running towards the north. After 40 m she turns left and runs for 75 m. Then she turned to the right and ran 30 metres, and then turned to the right and ran 75 metres. In which direction was she running at the end?
A student starts from his house in south direction, then turns to his right, walks 2 km and turns to his left and again turns to his left and walks 2 km. He now takes 450 turns in clockwise direction and reaches his college. In which direction is his college with respect to his house?
Explanation:
Walks South. Right (West) for 2km. Left (South) then Left (East) for 2km. The 2km West and 2km East cancel out, leaving him directly South of his house. The 450° CW turn (which is one full 360° circle + 90°) only changes the direction he is *facing*, not his geographical position. He remains South of his house.
