Question

In the adjacent figure, A, B, C and D are four persons stationed at the four corners of a square piece of plot. From the positions shown in the figure, C and A move diagonally to opposite corners and then walk one side each, clockwise direction and anticlockwise direction, respectively, along the sides. B and D move two sides each clockwise and anticlockwise, respectively.
What is the new position of A?

• A. Northern corner
• B. Western corner
• C. Southern corner
• D. Eastern corner
• E. Midway between original position of B and D

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Southern corner

The movements of A and C and their final position are shown in diagram (i).
The movements of Band D and their final position are shown in diagram (ii).
Now, the final positions ofA, B, C and D are as shown in diagram (iii).
Now, you can deduce that A is in the southern corner.
