7. Two buses start from the opposite points of a main road, 150 kms apart. The first
bus runs for 25 kms and takes a right turn and then runs for 15 kms. It then turns left
and runs for another 25 kms and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the
meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 35 kms along the
main road. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point?
A. 60 kms
B. 65 kms
C. 75 kms
D. 85 kms

Let X and Y be two buses.

Bus X travels along the path PA, AB, BC, CD.
Now, AD = BC = 25 km.
So, PD = PA + AD = 50 km.
Bus Y travels 36 km upto E.
Distance between two buses = PQ – (PD + QE)
= [150 – (50 + 35)] = 65 km.

8. The town of Paranda is located on Green Lake. The town of Akram is west of

of Tokhada and Akram. If they are all in the same district, which town is the farthest
west?
A. Bopri
B. Kakran
C. Akram
D. Paranda
The town of Akram (A) in west of Paranda (P) means A. P. Tokhada (T) is east of
Akram but went of Paranda means A. T, P. Kakran (K ) is east of Bopri (B) but
west of Tokhada and Akram means B, K, A, T. Combining all the arrangements,
we get the sequence as B, K, A. T, P. So, farthest west is Bopri.

= ( BC + DE )
= ( 20 + 15 )m
= 35 m.
Also, E is to the East of A.

19. X and Y start moving towards each other from two places 200 m apart.
After walking 60 m, B turns left and goes 20 m, then he turns right and goes 40 m. He
then turns right again and comes back to the road on which he had started walking. If A
and B walk with the same speed, what is the distance between them now?
A. 20 m
B. 30 m
C. 40 m
D. 50 m

Clearly Y moves 60 m from Q upto A, then 20 m upto B, 40 m upto C and then

upto D.
So, AD – BC = 40 m.
QD = (60 + 40) m = 100 m.
Since A and B travel wi th the name speed, A will travel the same speed along the
horizontal as B travels in the same time. i.e. (60 + 20 + 40 + 20) = 140 m.
So. X travels 140m upto A.
Distance between X and Y = AD – (100 – 60) m = 40 m.

20. Suriya walks 10 metres towards the South. Turning to the left, he walks
20 metres and then moves to his right. After moving a distance of 20 metres, he turns to

metres. How far and in which direction is he from the starting point?
A. 10 metres North
B. 20 metres South
C. 20 metres North
D. 10 metres South

The movements of Sanjeev from A to F are as shown in Fig.

Clearly, Suri ya's distance from starting point A
= AF = (AB + BF)
= AB + (BE – EF)
= AB + (CD – EF)
= [10 + (20 – 10)]= (10 + 10) m =20 m.
Also, F lies to the South of A.
So, Suriya i s 20 metres to the sout h of his starting point.
