How to solve direction sense problem easily
Here I am telling you the best and simple way to solve direction test problem very easily. To solve direction sense problem you must have a copy pen and scale because this is a drawing method . Let’s start with an example.
Example 1 : Ravi start with a point to the north and traveled 45 Km. Then he turned toward east and traveled 30 km. Then he turned and traveled 30 km toward south. He stopped again and went toward west 15 km. Then he started travelling and went in south 15 km. Calculate the distance from the starting point.

Step 4 : Again Ravi Started from the S and traveled in direction of west. The west is a left hand side in the horizontal direction of paper. Draw a line and name the last point as T.
Step 5 : Ravi started towards south and traveled 15 KM from the point T. And he stopped at a point U. As per question this is the last point and we have to calculate the distance from that point to the start point.
Step 6: Now calculate the distance from the start point to end point.
