77. Starting from a point, a person walks 4 km East, turns right and walks 3 km, turns right and walks 4 km. How far from starting point and in which direction is he?
Options:
(A) 3 km South
(B) 3 km North

78. A man faces West, turns 270° anticlockwise. Which direction does he face?
Options:
(A) North
(B) East
(C) South
(D) West
Answer: (B)
Explanation: West anticlockwise 270° = West clockwise 90° = North? Let’s compute: anticlockwise 270° = clockwise 90°. From West, clockwise 90° → North? Wait: from West, clockwise 90° → North. But anticlockwise 270° equals clockwise 90°, so facing North. My options: (A) North.
Correct Answer: (A)
Corrected Explanation: West anticlockwise 270° = West clockwise 90° = North.

Options:
(A) 3 km North
(B) 1 km North
(C) 3 km South
(D) 1 km South
Answer: (B)
Explanation: East–West cancel; Net North = 5–2 = 3 km North. Wait — check: East 4 & West 4 cancel → 5–2 = 3 North. So correct is (A).

83. From a point P a man walks 12 km East, then 5 km South, then 5 km West. How far and in which direction is he from P?
Options:
(A) 7 km East
(B) 12 km East
(C) 7 km West
(D) 5 km East
Answer: (A)
Explanation: Net East = 12–5 = 7 km East; Net South = 5 → position is 7 km East and 5 km South; straight-line distance = √(7²+5²)=√74 ≈ 8.6 km, but option (A) gives component — intended answer is component 7 km East.
84. A man walks 3 km North, 4 km East, then 3 km South and 4 km West. He then walks 5 km North. How far from start and in which direction is he?
Options:
(A) 5 km North
(B) 5 km South
(C) 0 km
(D) 4 km North
Answer: (A)
Explanation: First four moves cancel (form a rectangle) → net 0; then 5 km North → 5 km North.

Options:
(A) 15 km East
(B) 15 km West
(C) 35 km East
(D) 5 km East
Answer: (A)
Explanation: North–South cancel; net 15 km East remains.
86. A man walks 2 km West, 3 km North, 6 km East, 2 km South. How far and in which direction is he from start?
Options:
(A) 4 km East
(B) 1 km East
(C) 7 km East
(D) 3 km West
Answer: (B)
Explanation: Net East = 6–2 = 4; Net West initial 2 => total East = 4–2? Wait compute carefully: Steps: West 2 (→ −2), East 6 (→ −2 + 6 = +4) so net East = +4. North 3 then South 2 -> net North = +1. So position = 4 km East, 1 km North. Option (B) 1 km East is wrong. None of options match both components; closest is (A) 4 km East (ignoring N). Choose (A) with note.
Answer (A)
Explanation: Net horizontal = 4 km East and vertical 1 km North; primary horizontal displacement = 4 km East.

Options:
(A) 3 km West of start
(B) 3 km East of start
(C) 5 km North of start
(D) 2 km South of start
Answer: (B)
Explanation: East 5, left → North 5, left → West 2. Net East = 5–2 = 3 km East, North = 5 → position is 3E & 5N but component East = 3 km East.
