MCQ on Distance and Direction
Distance and Direction
Direction is the measurement of the position of one object with respect to another object, and displacement is the minimum distance between an object’s starting point and final point.
The measurement of one object’s location concerning another item is called direction, and displacement is the shortest distance between an object’s beginning and ending points. The alignment of one person or object to another object or person gives its direction. There are four cardinal directions.

Point M is north of Point T. Point S is 12m west of Point G. If the person walks towards south from Point A, after walking 3m to reach point C. Now, he turns to his right and walks for 5m to reach point R, and then he walks 7m in the south direction to reach point L. Point L is north of B and east of Point G.
