Learning Objectives
Direction Sense Test
The concept behind the directions is same that we use in our daily life. To solve the direction sense test, first we need to make a sketch of the data provided.
Remember, four main Directions are: North (N), South (S), East (E), West (W).
Four Cardinal Directions are: North-East (N-E), North-West (N-W), South-East (S-E), South-West (S-W).
Direction Facts:
Clockwise and Anticlockwise Turn
If you move in direction which is same as the moving direction of a clock hands, your movement is called clockwise turn.
Clockwise Turn Anticlockwise Turn
If you move in the opposite direction of the clockwise direction, your movement is called anticlockwise turn.
Example:
(a) South (b) North
(c) East (d) West
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Here, we make sketch as follows:
2. Pinki starts moving from a point P towards East. After walking some distance she turns her right. Now, her direction is definitely towards:
(a) South (b) North
(c) East (d) West
(e) None of these
Answer (a) is correct.
Explanation: Pictorial presentation explains the truth.
Let us see:
3. Raj starts walking from a point X towards West. After some distance he takes left turns and walks to a point Y. Now, his direction from X is definitely towards:
(a) East (b) West
(c) North-West (d) South-West
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: Pictorial presentation explains the truth.
Let us see:
N W = North West
N E = North East
S W = South West
S E = South East
4. In the figure give below, Joseph is facing towards the stadium. He makes a \[\frac{3}{4}\] turn to the left. Where will he be facing now?
(a) School (b) Railway Station
(c) Home (d) Stadium
(e) None of these
Answer (a) is correct
Explanation: In first \[\frac{1}{4}\] turn, Joseph will face 'Home', in second \[\frac{1}{4}\] turn, he will face 'Railway Station’, and in third \[\frac{1}{4}\] turn or in a complete \[\frac{3}{4}\] turn, he will face 'School'.
Direction (Q. No - 5 to 7):- Study the following information and answer the questions. In the figure given below, a boy is standing facing home.
5. Boy will face the 'River' if he makes to his right a:
(a) \[\frac{1}{2}\] turn
(b) \[\frac{3}{4}\] turn
(c) \[\frac{3}{8}\] turn
(d) \[\frac{5}{8}\] turn
(e) None of these
Answer (c) is correct.
6. If boy makes \[\frac{5}{8}\] turn to his left, he will face:
(a) River (b) Power House
(c) Highway (d) Apple Tree
(e) None of these
Answer (a) is correct.
7. To face highway, boy has to make:
(a) \[\frac{3}{4}\] turn to his left
(b) \[\frac{3}{8}\] turn to his left
(c) \[\frac{2}{8}\] turn to his right
(d) \[\frac{2}{8}\] turn to his left
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: Boy is facing his home.
(5) Boy will face the 'River' if he makes \[\left( \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} \right)\] turn = \[\frac{3}{8}\] turn to his right.
(6) If Boy makes \[\left( \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} \right)\] tum = \[\frac{5}{8}\] tum to his left, he will face 'River'.
(7) To face ‘Highway’, Boy has to make \[\left( \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} \right)\] = \[\frac{2}{8}\] turn to his left.
8. Which one of the following is NOT correct for the given diagram?
(a) Point A is in North-West of M.
(b) Point B is in South-East of M.
(c) Point E is in West of M.
(d) Point H is in North of M.
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Point A is in North-West of M. Point B is in South-West of M. Point E is in west of M. Point H is in north of M.
Therefore, statement in option (b) is not correct.
9. How many letters appear the same when if rotated by \[\frac{1}{2}\] turn?
U N I S I Z E
(a) 3 (b) 7
(c) 5 (d) 6
(e) None of these
Answer (c) is correct.
Explanation: The letters N, I, S, I and Z appear the same when if rotated by \[\frac{1}{2}\] turn.
10. How many letters does NOT appear the same when if rotated by \[\frac{1}{2}\] turn?
O X A Z I N E S P
(a) 4 (b) 1
(c) 2 (d) 3
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: All letters except three letters A, E and P appear the same when if rotated by \[\frac{1}{2}\] turn.
