Verbal Reasoning - Direction Sense Test - Discussion

AB and CD lines are towards south and BC line is towards west. As you draw a line from A to D (as shown in the above fig). The line AD is inside of west and south. So it is south-west.

I think it is incorrect.

If anyone knows the correct answer please explain me.

There is no correct answer in the options. It should be South-East because following the direction from the sketch it's is about 22.5 degree downward between South and East.

He starts to walk south but answer is south to west how is it possible?

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.
