A man starts walking in south direction ...

A man starts walking in south direction from point P (as shown in figure) & reaches point `Q(PQ = 4m)`, then the moves towards east direction & reaches at point `R(QR = 3m)`. Now he moves towards north direction & reaches at points `S(RS = 10m)` & finally he moves towards east direction & reaches at point `T(ST = Xm)`. On the basis of above information, answer the following questions :

Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question . Read both the statements and - In which direction point 'A' islocated with respect to point 'B' ? I. A man starts walking from point 'A' towards east and after walking 3 mitres reached point 'N', he turns right and walks 6 metres to reach point 'M'. Then he turns right ans walks 6 metres to reach point 'O'. He again turns right and walks 7 walks 7 metres to reach point 'P'. He, then, turns left and walks 2 metres to reach point 'B'. II. A man starts walking from point 'A' towards east and after walking 3 metres reaches point 'N'. From point 'N' he walks 7 metres towards south and reaches point 'M'. From point 'M' he walks 6 metres towards west and reaches Point 'O'. From potin 'O' he walks 7 metres towards north and reaches point 'P'. From point 'P' he walks towards west and reaches point 'B' . The distance between point A and B is 8 metres.

Vinay moves towards South-East, a distance of 7 m, then he moves towards West and travels a distance of 14 m. From there, he moves towards North-West a distance of 7 m and finally he moves a distance of 4 m towards East and stands at point. How far is the starting point from where he is standing now?

X starts from a point P towards west and reaches next point 9. From there he turns towards North and reaches place R. From there he takes turn towards South-West and reaches a place S. From there he takes turn towards North-West and reaches place T. The path of his journey is correctly shown by which of the given responses.

Directions: Study the information given below carefully and answer the questions that follow. A person starts walking towards the north from point P, after walking 15 m he reaches point A and then he takes a right turn and walks 7 m to reach point Q and after that, he walks in the southern direction and walks 10 m to reach point M. Point B is 5 m east of point M. Point R is 22 m north of B. Point C is 10 m west of R. What is the direction of R with respect to the person’s initial position?
