Direction Test in Logical Reasoning

The shortest distance between an object’s starting point and final location is called displacement, while direction is the measurement of its position in relation to another object. In this section, we’ll look at questions in which the candidate must determine the final direction or distance between two points after a series of directions has been given. The directions and distance problem contains instructions for moving a person or an object from a beginning place, also known as origin, to a destination position, also known as destination. These instructions usually specify the movement’s size and direction. This section’s questions are meant to assess the candidates’ sense of direction.

Direction sense test tricks

• There are only four primary directions: north, south, east and west.

• If a man stands facing east at sunrise, his shadow will be cast towards the west.

• If a guy stands facing North at daybreak, his shadow will be to his left, and at sunset, it will be to his right .

• The sun’s beams are vertically downward at 12:00 noon, therefore there will be no shadow.
