Direction and Distance MCQ Quiz - Objective Question with Answer for Direction and Distance - Download Free PDF

A man is standing facing towards north. If the man turns 90 degrees in anti-clockwise direction

135 degrees in clockwise direction

45 degree in clockwise direction

Hence, the man will face towards East.

The diagram is as follows-

Here, The distance between A and E is 9 km, and the direction is east.

Hence, the correct answer is "9 km, east".

According to the given information,

• Pillar P is to the South of Pillar Q.
• Pillar R is to the west of Pillar Q.
• Pillar S is to the west of Pillar R.
• Pillar T is to the south of Pillar S

​The following diagram can be deduced,

So, from the above figure it is clear that Q is in the east of S.

Hence, the correct answer is "East".

As per the given information;

Clockwise Direction = 194° + 612° = 806° 

Anticlockwise Direction = 263° + 342° = 605° 

Difference = 806° - 605° = 201° (Clockwise)

Hence, the minute is in the North West direction initially.

Step 1: Point A is 18 m to the east of Point B.

Step 2: Point B is 22 m to the north of Point C.

Step 3: Point D is 11 m to the west of Point C.

Step 4: Point E is 11 m to the south of point D.

Step 5: Point X is 29 m to the east of Point E.

Now the distance between Point A to Point X is same as sum of distance between Point D to Point E & Point B to Point C.

DE = 11 m and  BC = 22 m
DE + BC => 11 m + 22 m 

Therefore the distance between A and X is 33 m.

Hence, the correct answer is "33m".

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

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.

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.

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.
