And,

We have to find out in which direction his left hand is.

Baba Ramdev’s face is in the East direction, as the question shows.

If he is facing East, then your right hand will be in the south direction. 

But Baba Ramdev is not in a normal position. He is doing exercise with his legs up and heads down.

Then,

And he is facing East; his left hand will be on the south side.

We will understand this better by seeing the below-made direction test diagram.

As per the above direction test diagram, Baba Ramdev’s left hand is in the south direction while doing the exercise.

If the shadow falls in the left or right direction in any question, then in 99% of the questions, the answer will be either the North or South direction.

So in this question also, the answer will be either south or north.

Let us find out that,

See, in this question, the shadow of both Khushi and Divya will be in the east direction because, in the question, it is mentioned that they are standing face to face in the evening before sunset.

As I have mentioned above that their shadow will be on the east side

Then, 

Khushi is facing towards the North direction because it is mentioned in the question that Divya’s shadow is exactly to the right of Khushi. 

And Divya will be facing the South side because they are standing face-to-face.

Question 11: Two buses start from opposite main road points, 150 km apart. The first bus runs for 25 km, takes a right turn, and then runs for 15 km. It then turns left, runs for another 25 km, and then turns and goes to reach the main road. In the meantime, the other bus has run only 35 km along the main road due to a minor breakdown. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point? 

(a). 65 km

(b). 75 km

(c). 80 km

(d). 85 km

Answer: (a). 65 km

Explanation:

In this question, two buses start from opposite points of the main road, 150 km apart. The first bus runs for 25 km, takes a right turn, and then runs for 15 km. It then turns left, runs for another 25 km, and then turns and goes to reach the main road. In the meantime, the other bus has run only 35 km along the main road due to a minor breakdown. 

And, 

Do we have to find out what would be the distance between the two buses at this point? 

Now we will make a direction test diagram to help us determine the distance between the two buses at this point.

As per the above direction graph, bus I covered a 50 km distance, and bus II covered a 35 km distance.

So the remaining distance that they had to cover was 50 + 35 - 150 = 65 km

(i). Road A is 1 km. East of road B. 

(ii). Road B ½ is km. West of road C.

(iii). Road D is 1 km. West of road E. 

(iv). Road G is ½ km. South of road H.

(v). Road I is 1 km. North of road J. 

(vi). Road K is ½ km north of Road L.

(vii). Road K is 1 km south of Road M.

Answer: (d). M is 1.5 km. North of L. 

Question 13: If road E is between B and C, then what is the distance between A and D?

(a). ½ km.

(b). 1 km.

(c). 1.5 km.

Question 14: Rahul walked 2km west of his house and then turned south, covering 4km. Finally, he moved 3km towards the east and then again 1km west. How far is he from the initial position?

(a). 4 km

(b). 5 km

(c). 6 km

(d). 7 km

Answer: (a). 4 Km.

Solution: 

Rahul starts from his house at A, moves 2km west up to B, then 4m to the south up to C, 3km east up to D, and finally 1km west up to E; thus, his distance from the initial position A will be AE.

And AE = BC = 4km.

Question 15: Shivam walks 10 km towards the north. From there, he walks 6 km towards the south. Then he walks 3 km towards the east. How far and in which direction is he with reference to his starting point?

(a). 4 km southwest 

(b). 6 km Southeast

(c). 7 km North - west

(d). 5 km northeast.

Answer: (d). 5 km North-East.

Explanation: 

 In this question, Shivam walks 10 km towards the north. From there, he walks 6 km towards the south. Then he walks 3 km towards the east. 

And, 

We have to find out How far and in which direction Shivam is with reference to his starting point?

Now we will make a direct test diagram to help us find out How far and in which direction Shivam is with reference to his starting point.

As per the above direction graph,

Shivam walks 10 km from A to B. After that, 6 km south from B to C. and 3 km towards the east from C to D.

Therefore, his distance from the starting point A

 AD = √AC² + CD²

AD = √4² + 3²

AD = √16 + 9

AD = √25

AD = 5 km in North - East direction
