C) 4 km to the north and 30 km to the west
D) 2 km to the north and 15 km to the east

ANSWER :-


1). (d) D, C, A, A


Sum of alphabet’s position in 1st row,
=  1+  4+  1+  3+  2+  2+  4+  3+  3
= 23
Similarly, in 2nd row
=  1+  3+   1+  2+  4+  2+ = 13
Since, these are prime numbers, then sum of all given and unknown alphabets positions in 3rd row should also be a prime number.
Thus, 3rd row =  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 19


2)(4) 60


Persons            After Ist Exchange          After 2nd Exchange               Initial Amount
A                                60                                        80                                             60
B                                80                                        40                                             40
C                               70                                         50                                             80
D                               40                                         70                                             50

E                               50                                         60                                             70


3)(3) Rs 40



4)(1) Rs 80



5)    B) 52 km


Starting in North direction: 1 yellow light means 30 km/hr So 24 minutes at 30km/hr, means covers 12 km Next, 2 yellow and 2 green lights, means turn left and at 60 km/hr (half an hour)
So now distance covered = 60 * ½ = 30 km
Now for next 15 minutes, 1 red & 2 green lights, means turned left and drove at 40 km/hr, so
covered 40 * 15/60 = 10 Km
So total distance = 12+30+10 = 52 k

6)C) West
Starts in north. Encounters – 2 green (left), 2 green (left) and 1 green (right)

So finally in west direction.


7)D) 30 km away to the south-east of the starting point



8)C) 27 km to the north and 30 km to the west



9)A)12 km to the south and 12 km to the east
