Question Details

Directions (18-21): Read the given information carefully and answer the related questions:

Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F stand in a row in the same order from right to left. Three of them face south and three face north direction. Consecutive distance between any two persons is 8m. They all start walking either in north or south direction, covering some certain distances, then reach their final positions.

A walks 14m in a certain direction and then turns right and walks 20m to reach his final position. C walks 10m in certain direction and then turns left and walks 6m to reach his final destination. E walks 6m in a certain direction and then turns left and walks 8m to reach his final position. F walks 8m in certain direction and then turns left and walks 22m to reach his final position. D walks 16m in a certain direction and then turns right and walks 6m to reach his final position. B walks 12m north and then turns left and walks certain meter to reach his final position which is in the south of D’s final position. C’s final destination is not in south-east of F’s final destination.

Option D

None of these

None of these

Solution :

To find the person who walks the second highest distance, let us calculate the total distance covered by each person based on the given directions:

1. Distance walked by A:
A walks 14m and then walks 20m.
Total distance for A = 14 + 20 = 34 m

2. Distance walked by C:
C walks 10m and then walks 6m.
Total distance for C = 10 + 6 = 16 m

3. Distance walked by E:
E walks 6m and then walks 8m.
Total distance for E = 6 + 8 = 14 m

4. Distance walked by F:
F walks 8m and then walks 22m.
Total distance for F = 8 + 22 = 30 m

5. Distance walked by D:
D walks 16m and then walks 6m.
Total distance for D = 16 + 6 = 22 m

6. Distance walked by B:
Six persons stand in a row from right to left at consecutive distances of 8m. Let us align them along the X-axis starting from F at x = 0:
F = 0m, E = 8m, D = 16m, C = 24m, B = 32m, A = 40m.
B walks 12m North (reaches coordinate (32, 12)) and then turns left (West) to reach a final position directly south of D's final position.
Depending on D's initial facing direction:
- If D faces North: D walks 16m North and turns right (East) 6m, reaching x = 16 + 6 = 22m. For B to reach x = 22m by turning left (West), B must walk:
32 - 22 = 10 m
In this case, B's total distance = 12 + 10 = 22m.
- If D faces South: D walks 16m South and turns right (West) 6m, reaching x = 16 - 6 = 10m. For B to reach x = 10m by turning left (West), B must walk:
32 - 10 = 22 m
In this case, B's total distance = 12 + 22 = 34m.

Comparing the total distances walked by all individuals:
A = 34 m, F = 30 m, D = 22 m, C = 16 m, E = 14 m, and B = 22 m or 34 m
In both scenarios, the person who walks the 2nd highest distance is F (30 m).

Since F is not listed among the options (A, C, B), the correct choice is None of these.
