Topic : Directions in board games
In this
section, the directional concepts are applied to the popular board games like
Chess and Carrom board or Snake and ladder to solve the questions.
Example 7:
General placement of the chessboard
A chess piece undergoes following motion during the game. It
starts from D-8, and reaches H-5, from there it reaches A-3, finally, it moves
to the position H-8 and dies. In what direction the piece was when it died if
chess board is assumed to be placed in front of you?
Solution:
The H-8 is the position where the chess piece died. If the
chessboard is assumed to be placed in front of us, then the position H-8 will
lie in between North and east. Hence the answer is North-East.
Example 8:
General placement of carrom board
P, Q, R, and S are playing a game of carrom. P, R, and S, Q are
partners. S is to the right of R who is facing west. Then Q is facing?
A. North
B. South
C. East
D. West
Solution:
Since R is facing West and P is the partner of R P is facing
East. Also, S is to the right of R, so S will be facing South and Q is the
partner of S. Therefore Q will face North. Hence, option A is the correct
answer.
Topic : Directions of Seating arrangement
This section involves the combination of directional logics with
the seating arrangement.
Example 9:
J,K,L,M,N,O,P and R are eight huts. L is 2 km east of K. J is 1
km north of K and Q is 2 km south of J. P is 1 km west of Q while M is 3 km
east of P and O is 2 km north of P. R is situated right in the middle of K and
L while N is just in the middle of Q and M.
Distance between K and P is
A. 1.0km
B. 1.23 km
C. 1.41 km
D. 1.5 km
Solution:
Since K and p forms the diagonal of the right angle triangle KQP
the distance between KP is 1.41 km. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Distance between K and R is:
A. 1.41 km
B. 3 km
C. 2 km
D. 1 km
Solution:
Since R is in the middle of K and L which are 2 km apart. The
distance between K and r is 1km. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
