In reasoning direction questions, the right and left movement of a person is always with reference to the body moving in the scenario. It is not with respect to the person who is solving the questions.
Practice Topic Tests for Reasoning Ability Section
The point at which you start drawing the direction map is the starting point and the end point is called the destination. The major type of direction reasoning questions asked from this section are: Candidates will be asked to find the direction of one point with respect to another point. Otherwise the reasoning direction questions will be finding distance of one point from another point will be asked to find or candidates need to find the shortest distance between the two points. Finding the shortest distance involves applying pythagoras theorem A^2 + B^2 = C^2. These questions will be asked for easy-moderate level questions. For the high level questions, coded direction sense will be asked. Utilize the direction reasoning questions and answers pdf provided with tips, tricks, shortcuts and complete details of basic & coded direction sense with practice problems.
