R.K.MALIK'S NEWTON CLASSES JEE (MAIN & ADV.), MEDICAL + BOARD, NDA, IX & X Direction Sense There are four directions such as North, South, East and West. The word NEWS came from North, East, West and. East (i); North: West (i); South-East (ii); South-West (i). NORTH WEST. SOUTH The ditections OP, OS, OQ and OR are North-East direction; North-West direction; South: West direction; and South-East direction respectively Note: ‘The candidate must distinguish between the regions and directions, ie, between North-East region and North-East direction, If you move with your face East-wards, your leit hand is towards North and your right hand is towards South. Similarly the positions of the directions of the hands can be fixed when you move in any of the other three directions. SOLVED EXAMPLES Ex. I go 2 km towards East.

Thus, his distance from initial position A AE = AD + DE BC + DE = (5 + 10) km = 15 km. Hence, the answer is (b) Amit faces towards North, Turning to his right he walks 25 metres. He then turns to his left and. walks 30 metres. Next, he moves 25 metres to his right. He then turns to his right again and 5 metres. Finally, he turns to the right and moves 40 metres. In which direction is he walks 5 now from his starting point? (a). South-West (6) South (©) North-West (@) South-East «@ S D Amit turns towards right from North direction. So, he walks 25 m towards East upto B, turns left and moves 30 m upto C, turns right and moves 25 m upto D. At D he turns to right towards the 55 m upto E, Next, he again turns to right and walks 40 m up to F, which is South and walks his final position. F is to the South-East of A. So, he is to the South-East from his starting point. Hence, the answer is (D). A man is facing North-West. He turns 90° in the clockwise direction and then 135° in the anticlockwise direction.
