Question

Read the given information carefully and answer the given questions. Point N is 8 m to the West of point O. Point P is 4 m to the South of point O. Point Q is 4 m to the East of point P. Point R is 6 m to the North of point Q. Point S is 8 m to the West of point R. Point T is 2 m to the South of point S.
How far and in which direction is point T from point N?

• A. 4 m to the East
  
• B. 8 m to the West
  
• C. 4 in to the West
  
• D. 8 m to the East
  
• E. 6 m to the South

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4 m to the East


Point N is 8 m West of point O and point P is 4 m to the South of Point O.

Point Q is 4 m to the East of point P and point R is 6 m to the North of point Q.

Point S is 8 m to the West of point R and point T is 2 m to the South of point S.

We have to find out that point T is in which direction from point N and distance between them. Join OX such that OX= 4 m and SR= TX= 8 m.
NT= NX- TX= (NO+ OX)- (TO+ OX)
= (8+ 4)-(4+ 4)
= 12 - 8 = 4 m
Point T is in East direction and is 4 m away from point N.
