East, West, North and South as shown in the figure given below  \nAbbreviations for these directions are E (East), W (West), N (North) and S (South) .  \nCardinal Directions  \nA direction between two main directions is called cardinal direction or sub-direction, i.e., NE (North-East), NW (North-West), SE (South-East) and SW (South-West) .  \nStudents are advised to use diagram as given here, for the purpose of sensing directions.  \nAngle formed between two main directions (i.e., North-East; North-West; South-East or South-West) is 90° and angle formed between a cardinal direction and main direction is 45° .  \nAngle of Movement  \nFor solving questions based on angle of movement, it is necessary to know the rotations which are given below (i) Movement towards the right is called clockwise (CW) movement.  \n(ii) Movement towards the left is called anti-clockwise (ACW) movement.  \nShadow at the Time of Sunrise  \nIn the morning, sunrise in the East, the shadow of any person or object falls in the West.  \nShadow at the Time of Sunset  \nIn the evening, when the sunset in the West, the shadow of a person or an object falls in the East.  \nShortest Distance  \nIf we draw a straight line from the initial point of the object to the final point, then length of this line is called shortest distance.  \ne.g., An object starts from point A and reaches to point C after going through point B.  \nThen, distance between initial and final position = AB + BC  \nBut shortest distance between initial and final position = AC  \nTo find the shortest distance between two points, it is necessary to know Pythagoras theorem. Here, in ∆ ABC  \nAB = Perpendicular, BC = Base and AC = Hypotenuse. Hence, the shortest distance between A and C  \ni.e., AC = √AB2 + BC 2.  \nExample 1: Ravi walks 8 km North-East and then 6 km South-East. Find the total distance as well as shortest distance between starting and end points.  \nA. 14 km, 12 km B. 14 km, 10 km C. 10 km, 8 km D. 8 km, 6 km Solution: (B) According to the question,  \nHere, total distance = AB + BC = 8 + 6 = 14 km  \nand shortest distance AC = √AB2 + BC 2 = √82 + 62 = √64 + 36 = √100 = 10 km.  \nTypes of Reasoning Questions on Direction Sense  \nThere are four types of questions which are generally asked in various competitive examinations.  \nType \\#1: Based on Final Direction  \nThese question are based on finding the final direction of an object with respect to its starting point.  \nExample 1: Suman walks 15 km towards North. She turns right and walks another 15 km. She turns right and walks another 15 km. In which direction is she from the starting point?  \nA. North B. South C. East D. West  \nSolution: (C) According to the question, the direction diagram of Suman is a given below.  \nLet O be the starting point and A be ending point of Suman. It is clear from the diagram that, she is in East direction from her starting point.  \nExample 2: After starting from a point, a man walks 4 km towards West, then turning to his right he moves 4 km. After this, he again turns right and moves 4 km. Which choice given below indicates the correct direction in which he is from his starting point?  \nA. North B. East C. South D. West  \nSolution: (A) According to the question, the direction diagram of a man is as given below  \nLet A be the starting and D be the ending point of man. It is clear from diagram that, he is in North direction from his starting point.  \nExample 3: If South-West becomes North, then what will North-East be?  \nA. North B. South-East C. South D. East  \nSolution: (C) The diagrammatic representation of direction is as shown below  \nClearly, directions are moving 135° clockwise. Hence, North-East will become South moving 135° clockwise.  \nExample 4:","cbCain1NeHfCbozA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain1NeHfCbozA","pdf",255327,"English","# Main Directions\n# Cardinal Directions\n# Angle Formed Between Directions\n# Angle of Movement\n# Shadow at Sunrise and Sunset\n# Shortest Distance\n# Types of Reasoning Questions on Direction Sense\n## Type #1: Based on Final Direction\n## Type #2: Based on Displacement","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between direction, displacement, and shortest distance?\",\"answer\":\"Direction describes the position of one object with respect to another.
