24. Rohit walked towards the West and took a turn at in the clockwise 45 ◦ direction. He again turned at in the 180 ◦ clockwise direction. Lastly, he turned in the anti-clockwise direction. In 270 ◦ which direction was Rohit facing at last? [Level 3 (17/06/2022) Shift 1]

Correct Answer: (d) South-west
Solution:

Rohit turned total clockwise = 45° + 180° = 225°

At last Rohit facing = west + 45° (anti clockwise) = south-west

29. Two buses start from opposite points towards each other on a main road, 185 km apart. The first bus runs for 35 km and takes a right turn and runs for 17 km. It then turns left and runs for another 42 km and takes the left turn to reach the main road, in the meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 36 km along the main road. What would the distance between the two buses be at this point? [RRB NTPC 28/12/2020 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (a) 72 km
Solution:

Here the total distance travelled by bus 1 in the direction of main road = (35 + 42) = 77 km,On the other hand, distance travelled by bus 2 in the direction of main road = 36 km. So, the distance between the two buses in this situation = {185 - (77 + 36)} = 72 km
