Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Coded direction and Distance Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
Mridul starts from Point A and drives 17 km towards the west.
He then takes a left turn drives 15 km, turns left and drives 20 km.
He then takes a left turn and drives 22 km.
He takes a final left turn, drives 3 km and stops at Point P.
Thus, he should drive 7 km to the south in order to reach Point A again.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Coded direction and Distance Question 4:
P, Q, R and S start from the same point to walk around in a circular path, in the same direction, around a garden whose circumference is one kilometre. P walks 5 km an hour, Q walks 4 km an hour, R walks 7 km an hour and S walks 11 km an hour. How long will it take all four to meet again at the starting point?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Coded direction and Distance Question 4 Detailed Solution
Time taken by P to complete one round =
Time taken by Q to complete one round =
Time taken by R to complete one round =
Time taken by S to complete one round =
L.C.M. of the frequency of P, Q, R and S = L.C.M. of (, ) = 1 hour
Thus, P, Q ,R and S will meet again at the same point for the first time after 1 hour.

Statement III: More than two given points are to the north west of F.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Coded direction and Distance Question 5 Detailed Solution
The given expression is: A@B, B&C, C%D, D#E, E&F, F%R and R$A.
From the given coded statements, we get the following:
A @ B → A is either 6 meters north of B or 6 meters south of B.
B & C → C is 4 meters east of B.
C % D → C is either 8 meters east of D or 8 meters west of D.
D # E → D is 3 meters north of E.
E & F → F is 4 meters east of E.
F % R → F is either 8 meters east of R or 8 meters west of R.
R $ A → R is north east of A.
Based on the above conditions, we get the direction diagram as follows:
Now, from the above direction diagram, we check the correctness of the given statements as follows:
Statement I: If Z%D, then Z is to the west of B. → This statement is true. (Z is 8 meters to the west of D as two points cannot overlap. So, Z is to the west of D and B.)
Statement II: The distance between E and F is less than the distance between E and R. → This statement is true. (The distance between E and F is 4 meters and E and R is 12 meters.)
Statement III: More than two given points are to the north west of F. → This statement is false. (Only one point is located to the north west of F.)
Hence, both the statements I and II are true.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Coded direction and Distance Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet us first decode the given data:
| Code | $ | & | * | % | P@QR | P!QR |
| Meaning | North | East | West | South | 'P stands exactly in the middle of horizontal line QR | 'P stands exactly in the middle of vertical line QR |
Given: C12m$S5m*G3m&J6m%K!JT
According to the Pythagoras theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = Base2 + Height2
⇒ CS is Height = (12)2
⇒ GS is the Base = (5)2
⇒ GC is the Hypotenuse = ?
Therefore,
⇒ (GC)2 = (GS)2 + (CS)2
⇒ (GC)2 = (5)2 + (12)2
⇒ (GC)2 = 25 + 144
⇒ (GC)2 = 169
⇒ GC = √169
⇒ GC = 13
Hence, the correct answer is "13 m".
