Distance & Direction Quiz | Reasoning MCQ Practice for IBPS AFO 2026

Passage

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside.

Some letter blocks were scattered on the ground at different positions.

A is 4 m east of E.
E is 3 m north of S.
S is 8 m west of D.
The shortest distance between A and S is the same as the shortest distance between D and M.
M is east of C.
F is north of C.
C is 3 m south of D.
H is 4 m west of F.
The distance between C and F is twice the distance between S and D.

1

H is how far and in which direction from A?

Solution & Explanation A=(4,3), D=(8,0), C=(8,-3), F=(8,13) and H=(4,13). Therefore H is 10m directly north of A.

Passage

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Point A is 8 m to the west of Point B. Point C is 4 m to the south of Point B.
Point D is 4 m to the east of Point C. Point F is 6 m to the north of Point D.
Point E is 8 m to the west of Point F. Point G is 2 m to the south of Point E.

2

How far and in which direction is Point G from Point A?

Solution & Explanation Take B as (0,0). Then A=(-8,0), C=(0,-4), D=(4,-4), F=(4,2), E=(-4,2), and G=(-4,0). Thus G is 4 m east of A.

Passage

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside.

Point P is 6 m north of point Q.
Point R is 6 m east of point Q.
Point S is 3 m north of point R.
Point T is 2 m west of point S.

Kavita starts from point T and follows the path described below:

She walks 9 m north and reaches point M.
She takes a right turn and walks 5 m to reach point N.
She takes another right turn, walks 6 m, and reaches point O.

3

What is the distance between P and O and in which direction is Point O with respect to Point P?

Solution & Explanation Let Q=(0,0). Then P=(0,6), R=(6,0), S=(6,3), and T=(4,3). Kavita reaches O=(9,6). Distance between P and O = 9 m and O lies exactly to the East of P.

Passage

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside.

In a certain coded language:

@ means East.
# means West.
$ means North.
% means South.

The coding rules are as follows:

P @ Q means Q is to the east of P.
Q @ P means P is to the east of Q.

If two symbols are given simultaneously, both directions are considered.
For example, P $@ Q means Q is to the north-east of P.
Similarly, Q $@ P means P is to the north-east of Q.

4

Jadu walks 10 m towards # direction. Then he takes his left and walks 5 m. Then he turns right and walks 5 m and then turning his right he walks 8 m. Then he turns left again and walks 5 m. In which direction is he from the starting point?

Solution & Explanation From the figure formed using the given movements, Jadu finally reaches the North-West direction with respect to the starting point. Therefore the answer is $#.

Passage

Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside.

Five participants, namely J, K, L, M, and N, were participating in a cross-country race and were standing in a linear row facing north.

N was 45 m to the left of L, who was not standing at an extreme end.
K was third to the right of N.
J was 15 m to the right of N.
M was standing at an extreme end.
K was 10 m apart from M and stood exactly in the middle of M and L.

All of them started running in the north direction.

J's movement:

Ran 15 m north.
Took a right turn and ran 20 m to reach the End Point.

M's movement:

Ran 10 m north.
Took a left turn and ran 20 m.
Took a right turn and ran another 5 m, then stopped.

K's movement:

Ran 12 m north.
Took a left turn and ran 25 m, then stopped.

L's movement:

Ran 15 m north.
Took a left turn and ran 10 m.
Stopped at the End Point.

N's movement:

Ran 10 m north.
Took a right turn and ran 15 m.
Took a left turn and ran 5 m, then stopped.

5

How far is M from the End point after completing the run?

Solution & Explanation End point is (35,15). M finishes at (45,15). Hence the distance between M and End point is 10m.
