Verbal Reasoning - Direction Sense Test - Discussion

South-West answer is exactly correct because in question asking in which direction he is from Starting point.

Answer is correct guys.

When you turn left or right. Turn by 90degree when the angle is not given.

By applying this and by following the instruction the man will be in 3rd coordinate which is south-west.

To make it easy first draw the N-S & E-W DIRECTIONS and follow the instruction from the center point.

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

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.

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.

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

@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".

@All.

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

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.
