EXPLANATIONS:
1. Distance covered by Bani while going to Dev and then reaching Teenu = 40 + 40 = 80 m
Distance covered by Bani while going straight to Teenu = √( ) ( ) =√
= 56.56 m
Therefore, the distance saved = 80 – 56.56
= 23.44 m
Option D is hence the correct answer.
2. As per the diagram, the distance between Dev and Bani is 40 m while the distance between Dev and
Teenu is also 40 m. Clearly, if we connect the points Bani, Dev and Teenu, they will form an isosceles
triangle with angle BDT (Bani, Dev, Teenu) to be 90°.
Therefore, the angle BTD(Bani, Teenu, Dev) must be 45°.
Option B is hence the correct answer.

3. With the given information, following image can be drawn.
Shortest distance between Lihaan's office and Traffic signal =
√ =√ =√ =17m
Hence, option C is correct.
From the above image it is clear that Park is in south-west of Lihaan's home.
Hence option A is correct.
From the following image it is clear that the coffee shop is in the east direction from Lihaan’s office.
The horizontal distance between them is 8+7 = 15 m.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
6. The following common explanation, we get “Person reaches point N as shown in fig”.
7. The following common explanation, we get “10m”.
Point A is 6m north of point B. Point R is 7m east of point S.
Point C is 9m west of point B. Point S 12m south of point M.

Point N is 2m north of point M.
If point S is 1m east of point B then the distance

between Point A and Point R is calculated
Calculation,
(AR) = (AB)2 + (BR)2 = (6)2 + (8)2
2
= 36 + 64 = 100m Then AR = 10m

8. Note: Colleges of both Kishore and Lokesh are in east direction with respect to their room.
Therefore, Kishore's college is exactly in the east direction of Kishore's room.
Let X be the point between Traffic signal & Shopping mall (not exactly.)
To find the shortest distance between X and shopping mall.
√ =√ =√ = 60m
By this, we get to know that distance between the traffic signal and X = 140m – 60m = 80m
To find the shortest distance between Axis bank and college
√ =√ =√ = 170 m

9. Note: Colleges of both Kishore and Lokesh are in east direction with respect to their room.
Therefore, Lokesh's college is exactly in the east direction of his room.

Now we know that Lokesh's college is in east direction with respect to Lokesh's room.
Using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
√ =√ =√ = 40 m
From this, we'll calculate the shortest distance between Lokesh's room and college = 110m – 40m = 70m
Hence, option B is correct.
10. Using the given information we can create a following diagram:
Applying the Pythagoras' theorem, we get

(The shortest distance)2 = 242 + 102 = 676
Therefore, the shortest distance = Under root of 676 = 26 m
In the above figure it is clear that the shortest distance is 26 m and the direction in which he is from
the starting point is Northwest.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Common Explanation: (11 to 15)
Reference:
Sumit started walking in east direction from point A. After walking 15m he reached point B, from there he
takes a left turn and walk 10 m to reach point C. From C, he turns left and walk 7 m and reaches point D. Then,
he turns left and walks 34 m to reach point E. From point E he turns right and walks 28 m. Now he reached
point F and from there he turns right and walks 40 m to reach point G. From point G he turns right and walks
32 m to reach point H.
Inference:
Using the above hints the path travelled by Sumit can be marked as:
11. From the final solution, we can say that point G is in northwest direction with respect to point A.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
12. From the final solution, and applying given information we have:
Here, only option B is true about J.

13. From the final solution, we can say that the total distance travelled by Sumit in west direction is 35 m.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
14. From the final solution, we can say that point C is in southeast direction with respect to point H.
15. From the final solution, we have:
Using the Pythagoras theorem, we can say that the shortest distance between points A and H is 20 m.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
16.
Explanation/References:
 Anaya is 15m to the west of Rithika.
 Rithika is 20m to the north of Genelia.
 Genelia is 12m to the east of Diksha.
 Faizah is 16m to the north of Diksha.
Shortest distance between Anaya to Faizah:
√ = √ = √ = 5m
Shortest distance between Anaya to Genelia:

√ = √ = √ = 20m
Total distance travelled by Anaya = 5m + 20m = 25 m

Hence, option A is correct.
17. The following common explanation, we get "South-East".
Total angular movement in anti-clockwise direction = 45 + 90 = 135 degrees and
Total angular movement in clockwise direction = 135 degree
Resultant angular movement = 135 – 135 = 0 degree
Therefore, the resultant movement will be the same as the original direction.
18. Using the information given in the question, we can draw a following figure:
After observing the above figure, we can say that point C is in northeast direction with respect to point
T.
Hence, the correct answer is option A

middle of S2 and S3 while S5 was just in the middle of S8 and S4.
Inference:
After decoding the symbols above statement can be rewritten as:
Nine shops –1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 were located at some distance from each other in a shopping complex.
S3 was 16 m east to that of S2. S1 was 6 m north of that of S2 and S8 was 12 m south of that of S1. S7 was 8 m
west of that of S8 while S4 was 24 m east of that of S7 and S6 was 16 m north of that of S7. S9 was situated
just in the middle of S2 and S3 while S5 was just in the middle of S8 and S4.
At this point we can easily create a rough map of the location of these shops:
30. After decoding the options, we get:

S9$S2#$S6 → S2 is to the west of S9 and S6 is to the northwest of S2.
S2@$S7 → S7 is to the southwest of S2
S2@%S4 → S4 is to the southeast of S2
Here, we can see that all of the options follow with the figure we made.
31. After decoding the options, we get:
S8#S10 → S10 is to north of S8.
S4#$S10 → S10 is to the northwest of S4
S7#%S10 → S10 is to the northeast of S7
Here, we can see that all of the options follow with the figure we made.
32. Following the final solution and applying the given conditions we can redraw the final figure as:
Here, the shortest distance between S4 and S12 is 20 m.

Reference:
Six persons – Reema, Naina, Suman, Ankit, Harish and Plash, each having a different age were sitting on the
different benches in a park situated at some distance from each other.
Inference:
We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.
Reference:
Ankit was older than both Harish and Plash.
Harish was younger than only one person.

Oldest person was sitting 15 m north of Naina.
Inference:
Using the above hints we can say that Ankit was the oldest person and was sitting 15 m to the north of Naina.
Decreasing order of age:
Ankit > Harish > ____ > ____ > ____ > ____
Reference:
Suman was sitting 10 m east of person Ankit.
Ankit was sitting somewhere in between Harish and Naina vertically.
Inference:
With the help of above hints we can draw a following figure:
Ankit > Harish > ____ > ____ > ____ > ____
Reference:
No person was sitting in west of Reema, Ankit, and Harish.
Plash was third oldest person among all the persons and was 10 m west of third youngest person.
Inference:
At this the only possible scenario in which we can fix the position of Plash is when Plash was seated 10 m to
the west of Naina.
Here, we can say that Naina was third youngest person.

Ankit > Harish > Plash > Naina > ____ > ____
Reference:
Youngest person was sitting northwest of Ankit.
Inference:
Here we can say that Reema was the youngest person.
Ankit > Harish > Plash > Naina > Suman > Reema
33. Following the final solution we can say that Reema was in northwest direction with respect to the
second youngest person.
Hence, the correct answer is option E.

34. Following the final solution we can say that the shortest distance between Plash and the second
youngest person is 25 m.
35. Following the final solution and applying the given conditions, we get:
Here, the shortest distance between third youngest and youngest person is 25 m.

Reference:
Ashi was standing at the left end of the line.
Two persons were standing between Ashi and Bala.
Diya stand second to the left of Bala.

Rupa was an immediate neighbor of Diya.
Only one person stands between Rupa and Neha.
Inference:
Using the given hints we can fix the positions of all the five persons standing in the row.
Reference:
Joya starts walking from point X which was 8 m in north from Rupa.
Joya moves 17 m in north-east direction to reach point Y.
Point Y and Neha were inline vertically.
Inference:
Here, in the figure below the path of Joya is denoted by Red colour, and I.P. and F.P. means initial position and
final position of the person.
Reference:
Neha moves 6 m in the north direction and stops at point Z.
Person Ashi moves in the direction to point Z.
Inference:
In the figure below, the path of Neha and Ashi is denoted by Blue and green colour respectively, and I.P. and
F.P. means initial position and final position of the person.
36. Following the figure we made using the given information we can say that the shortest distance
between the initial position of Neha and final position of Joya = (15 + 2 + 6) m = 23 m.
37. Following the figure we made using the given information we can say that initial position of Joya was in
North – West direction with respect to final position of Ashi.
between final position of Ashi and initial position of Joya = (82 + 22)1/2 m = 2√17 m
39. Following the figure we can say that the shortest distance between initial and final position of Ashi is 13 m.
Note- T is the final position of Ashi as per the question.

√( ) ( ) √ = 13
Hence option C is correct.
Reference:
There is PQ axis in such a way that P is in north and Q is in south direction.

The distance between Point B and Point E is half the distance between Point A and Point E.
Point DAE is in a straight line.
Inferences:
Given, Distance between (Point B to Point E) = 5m
Given, Distance between (Point B to Point E) = ½ [Distance between (Point A to Point E)]
Therefore, Distance between (Point A to Point E) = 5m × 2 = 10m
Point DAE is in a straight line. Thus we get
References:
Point B is in north east from Point A.

The distance between Point B and Point E is 5m.
Point E is north of Point G and is in south west of Point C.
Point BEG lies in a straight line.
The distance between Pont B and Point E is one-third the distance between Point E and Point G.
Inferences:
By using above information, we get,
Given, Distance between (Point B to Point E) = 5m
Given, Distance between (Point B to Point E) = 1/3 [Distance between (Point E to Point G)]
Therefore, Distance between (Point E to Point G) = 5m × 3 = 15m
Point BEG lies in a straight line. Thus we get,
References:
Point K is south east of Point B. Point B is west of Point C.
The distance between B and C is twice the distance between D and A.
The distance between B and C is same as the distance between G and K and are in parallel lines.
Point E is north of Point G and is in south west of Point C.
Inferences:
By using above information, we get,

We know, Distance between (Point D to Point A) = 4m
Given, Distance between (Point B to Point C) = 2 [Distance between (Point D to Point A)]
Therefore, Distance between (Point B to Point C) = 4m × 2 = 8m
Thus, Distance between (Point G to Point K) = 8m

[Figure 2]
From, figure (2),

(EG)2 = (EH)2 + (HG)2
(5)2 = (EH)2 + (3)2 ⇒ 2 = (EH)2 + 9
25 – 9 = (EH)2 ⇒ 16 = (EH)2
Therefore,
distance [E to H] = 4 meter
References
The distance between B and C is twice the distance between A and E.
The distance between A and C is twice the distance E and H.
We know,
Distance between E and H = 4 meter
Given,
Distance [A to C] = 2 { Distance [E to H] }
Distance [A to C] = 2 × 4 = 8 meter
Thus we get fig 1 as,
[Figure 3]
From, figure (3),
(BA)2 = (BC)2 + (AC)2

(10)2 = (BC)2 + (B)2
100 = (BC)2 + 64
100 – 64 = (BC)2
36 = (BC)2
Therefore,
distance [B to C] = 6 meter
We know,
Distance between B and C = 6 meter
Given,
Distance [B to C]= 2 {Distance [E to A]}
6 meter = 2 {Distance [E to A]}
Distance [E to A] =6 meter/2 =3 meter

Combining all figures, we get
49. The following common explanation, we get “5 meter”.

From, figure, (AH)2 = (EH)2 + (AE)2
(AH)2 = (4)2 + (3)2
16 + 9 = (AH)2
25 = (AH)2
AH = 5 meter
50. The following common explanation, we get “12 meter”.

From figure, Distance [A to C] = 8 meter
Distance [E to H] = 4 meter.
Sum = 8 + 4 =12 meter
