Question #1
Six houses A, B, C, D, E and F are situated in a colony. E is 60m from D and is in the south. F is 40m from B and is in the south. A is 30m from E and is in the north. F is 50m from A and is in the east. C is 50m from B and is in the west. Find the position of C with respect to A.
A. 50 m north
B. 30 m east
C. 40 m north
D. 40 m south

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Take A as reference. A is 30 m north of E. E is 60 m south of D, so D is 30 m north of A. F is 50 m east of A, so F is at (50,0). F is 40 m south of B, so B is 40 m north of F at (50,40). C is 50 m west of B, so C is at (0,40). Hence C is 40 m north of A.

Question #3
A man walks 4 km west, 3 km north, 12 km east. Shortest distance from start?
A. 11 km
B. 13 km
C. 5 km
D. 15 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Net east = -4+12=8 km, north=3 km. Distance = √(8²+3²)=√(64+9)=√73 ≈ 8.54. Not 13. I'll change: 5 km west, 12 km north, 10 km east -> net east 5, north 12 => √(5²+12²)=13. So question: 5 km west, 12 km north, 10 km east. Shortest distance 13 km. I'll adjust: A man walks 5 km west, then 12 km north, then 10 km east. Shortest distance? 13 km. So I'll replace.
