Drawing the diagram according to the given information,

She is northeast from her office.

Hence, “northeast” is the correct answer.

Drawing the diagram according to the given information,

Hence, Point D is in the North with respect to Point E.

As we know the directions,

According to the given statements, we have,

Thus, the direction is B's house with reference to A's house is West.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

According to the question, after leaving Amuda's house, the bus took two right turns and one left turn in the same order before reaching the college.

To get the initial direction of the bus, we will do reverse mapping. We will start from the destination and we will reverse the order and the direction of the turns.

From the house to college, the sequence and the direction of the turns are:

Right → Right → Left

Thus, on coming back from college to house, the sequence and direction of the turns would be:

Right → Left → Left

Upon arriving at the college, the bus was facing the north. Thus, while coming from college to house, the bus would face the south initially. After taking the first right turn, the bus would face the west. Then, after turn left for the first time the bus would face the south and after taking the second left the bus would face the east.

Thus, upon reaching the house, the bus is facing the east direction. Implies, while leaving the house the bus would have been facing the west.

Hence, the bus was facing the "west" while leaving Amuda's house.

Given: 

A boy walks 4 km towards south.

Then he turns right and walks 5 km. After that,

he turns left and walks 2 km. He turns right again and walks 3 km. 

By using Pythagoras theorem,

AB² + BC² = AC².

8² + 6⁶ = AC2.

64 + 36 = AC2.

√100 = AC2.

10 = AC.

Thus, he is 10 km away from start point.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

According to the given direction, 

• A girl starts from a point P and walks 10 meters in the North-West direction and reaches the point Q

• She then turns to her left and walks 10 meters to a point R which is directly west ward to point P.

• She again turned to her left and walks 10 meters and reaches a point S which is directly southward to point Q.

• From the point S she turns towards point P and walks 10 meters.

So, the above directions make a "square" shaped as all the sides have equal length.

Hence, the shape of the geometrical figure PQRS is "square".

Mistake PointsSquares and rhombuses are parallelograms, in which opposing sides are equal and parallel. The primary difference is that a square has all equal sides and all equal angles (90 degrees), while a rhombus only requires that all sides are equal in length.

Therefore, if you have a shape that is a square and also looks like a rhombus, it is both! But it's probably most accurate to call it a square because that term gives more information about the shape – it tells you that all sides are equal and all angles are 90 degrees. For rhombus diagonals should be bisect each other. But from the question, we can not determine that. 

According to given conditions,

• Shweta starts walking from her office and walks 150 m towards the south.

• Then she turns right and walks 80 m.

• Then she turns left and walks 60 m.

• She finally turns left and walks 280 m to reach a bank.

Now, the shortest distance between Shweta's office and bank can be calculated by the pythagoras theorem :-

⇒ Here, x stands for shortest distance.

So, (x)² = (60 + 150)² + (280 - 80)²

⇒ (x)2 = (210)2 + (200)2

⇒ (x)2 = 44100 + 40000

⇒ (x)2 = 84100

⇒ x = 290 M

After interchanging direction: (New direction in squares)

Hence, South will be replaced by the North-west direction.

If he sees his shadow in front of him in the morning, when the sun is in the east, he is facing in the west. So as you see the figure, he must start in the direction of the north so that he faces in the direction of his shadow.

Hence, the correct answer is north.

Gaurav exits from the backdoor of his north-facing house means Gaurav starts to walk south side.

Drawing the diagram according to the given information,

1. Gaurav walks south 25 m straight
2. then he takes a left turn and walks 36 m
3. then he turns left and walks 47 m.
4. He turns left again and walks 36 m.

• So, Gaurav is 22 km far and the North direction is from his house now

Hence, “22 m, North” is the correct answer.

As per the given information;

Distance between initial and final point = √(20² + 15²)

= √(400 + 225)

= √625

= 25 km

Hence, "25 km, South East" is the correct answer.

The path travelled by Anup is as shown below.

∴ Horizontal distance = 5 + 5 = 10 km

Hence, “10 Km” is the correct answer.

According to the given information, we get the following figure, 

Hence, Point X is in north-west of point Y.

One morning, Chitrashi and Aryan sit facing each other.

• If the shadow of Aryan falls to the left of Chitrashi.

• Aryan is facing the South direction.

Hence, ‘South​’ is the correct answer.

As per the given information;

Distance between initial and final point = √(20² + 15²)

= √(400 + 225)

= √625

= 25 km

Hence, "25 km, South East" is the correct answer.
