Verbal Reasoning - Direction Sense Test - Discussion

Yes, it is right @Karishma. Question is asking about D's direction to the respect of A, if you make the directions diagram at the point of you'll get a clear figure. It's South-west to the A.

Actually, they told that the person is moving towards south so the starting place may be north or west or north east or north west.

So, I think it is an invalid question.

The answer is South West only. Since the last position is not straight downwards to the original position but is diagonal to it. Hence the answer is South West.

@All.

But how it should be south? Please explain in detail.

@All.

The correct answer is South-West. "Now in which direction is he from the starting place?".

If you know the directions well then you can understand this.

Now after moving as per the question, he'll be moved in "South-West" direction.

If the question was like "In which direction he faces now or in which direction he moved? " in this case answer will be "South" but the question is in which direction is he from starting place. So, consider angle from A to D and it'll be "South-West".

Still confused. Direction from the starting point is still into the south, 3 km deviation to the east.

Answer may be South-east or south.

The answer is right. Because according to man., right means our left. As he travelled towards the south. So the answer is SOUTH WEST.

Draw a simple graph and imagine starting point is a mid-point of a graph and draw it. Like (south, west, north, east) and then draw a line final point to mid point and you will get the answer (south-west).

Thank you.

Consider A & B line as north to south line, Point D is on the right side of Point B (which is south) when you see diagram of direction then you find WEST is comes to go from south in the right side direction.

Please help. I am unable to understand left right from directions where should I take them?
