Question: In which direction is L with respect to K?
(I) R is west of P and north of K.
(II) P is north-west of L and south-west of M.

A. The facts in statement II alone are sufficient to North the question.

B. The facts in statement I alone are sufficient to North the question.

C. The facts in both the statements I and II together are sufficient to North the question.

D. The data in statement I and II together are not sufficient to North the question.

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Statement I tells us K is South of R, and P is East of R. Statement II tells us L is South-East of P. Combining both, K and L are both located generally South of P, but their exact lateral distances are unknown, making it impossible to determine the precise angle/direction of L with respect to K.

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
Assuming 900 is a typo for 90°. Initial: South-East (135° standard). Turn sequence: +90°(CW) - 90°(Left) + 90°(Right) + 90°(Right) + 45°(CW) - 135°(CCW) + 45°(CW) = 135° net CW turn. South-East + 135° Clockwise puts her facing West.

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
In one 5-minute cycle, the insect walks 15m forward and 10m reverse, yielding a net progress of 5m per cycle. After 18 cycles (90 minutes), it has advanced 90m. In the next 3 minutes, it walks continuously forward at 5m/min, covering 15m. 90m + 15m = 105m. Total time = 90 + 3 = 93 minutes.

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
This forms a right triangle where the final hypotenuse distance is 50m, and one leg (the horizontal walk) is 30m. The vertical walk (y) is found using Pythagoras: y² + 30² = 50² -> y² + 900 = 2500 -> y² = 1600 -> y = 40m.

An engineering college has different buildings for different departments. ECE, 18 m from IT. is in the north. 20 m from EEE, ECE. is in the east. Civil, 30 m from IT. It is in the North West. Mechanical, Civil to 32 m. is to the south which is to the west of ECE. What is the minimum distance between Mechanical and ECE?

A. 48 meters

B. 24 meters

C. 40 meters

D. 32 meters

View Answer & Solution Discuss

Get Complete Subject PDF for Reasoning

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Let IT be (0,0) and ECE be (0,18). Civil is 30m from IT in the NW. Mechanical is West of ECE, meaning its y-coordinate is 18. This aligns horizontally. Civil is 32m North of Mechanical or fits into a standard 18-24-30 right triangle (where base is 24m, height 18m, hypotenuse 30m). Thus, the distance along the horizontal axis mapping to Mechanical is 24m.

Vimal walks 7 km and then takes a left turn and walks 11 km. Then he crosses a 2 km long garden and takes a 45" right turn, then walks 21 km, now he is facing north-east. In which direction is he now with respect to the starting point?

A. North West

B. Southeast

C. West

D. East

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Tracing backward: if a 45° right turn put him facing North-East, he must have been facing North prior to the turn. That means his left turn put him facing North, implying he initially walked East. Since all movements were East and North, his final position is deeply in the North-East quadrant. Given the options, standard typo resolution points to the primary initial direction vector context, aligning closest with East (or unlisted NE).

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
From Statement I: X is East of B, P is South of X. Q is North of B. Because Q is strictly above B, and P is to the right (East) and down (South) relative to X (and thus B), P will unequivocally be South-East of Q. I is sufficient. Statement II lacks precise anchoring ties.

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.

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Let P be (0,0). Q is (0,-12). R is West of P, so R is (x, 0). Distance R to Q is 13. By Pythagoras, x² + (-12)² = 13² -> x² + 144 = 169 -> x² = 25 -> x = -5 (West). So R is at (-5, 0). S is 24km South of R, so S is at (-5, -24). Distance from Q(0,-12) to S(-5,-24) -> Δx = -5, Δy = -12. Distance = √((-5)² + (-12)²) = 13km. S is West and South of Q
