Concept Cracker

1. (b) School is in north – east direction
4. (c)

2. (a) 45° + 180° – 270° = – 45° ie, 45° anticlockwise 5. (c) After removing the pole the remaining poles
from initial position. Hence, the required direction is are 6 then distance between two poles would be
south – west. 45 ÷ 5 = 9m.
3. (a)

6. (a) The distance between pole G and C = 8 + 7 +
6 + 5 = 26m
7. (c) The distance between A and G
Clearly distance between A and B is 65 km = (10 + 9 +….+ 5)

1. (a)

Note: s = Distance covered; v = Velocity (km/hr) t = Time taken; s = v × t The total distance travelled by the motorist
from the starting point till last signal is 10 + 10 + 20 + 40 + 10 = 90 km.
