Directions (79-81): Answer the questions based on the information given below.
Seven delivery agents P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V are parked at different spots in a logistics hub. S is 14m west of T, who is 10m west of V. R is east of S. The distance between V and S is twice the distance between R and S. U is 16m north of R. P is 12m east of U. P is 10m north of Q.
In which direction is U with respect to T?
Correct Answer :
North-west
Solution :
The correct option is North-west.
Let us determine the positions of the delivery agents step-by-step based on the given directions:
1. Positions of S, T, and V:
- S is 14m west of T, and T is 10m west of V.
- The total distance between S and V is calculated as:
2. Position of R:
- We are given that the distance between V and S is twice the distance between R and S:
- Therefore, the distance between R and S is:
- R is east of S. Since S is 14m west of T, placing R 12m east of S means R is 2m west of T.
3. Position of U:
- U is 16m north of R.
- Since R is 2m west of T, U is located 2m west and 16m north of T.
4. Direction of U with respect to T:
- From T's position, U is 2m to the West and 16m to the North.
- Therefore, U is in the North-west direction with respect to T.
