Question

Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

All the streets of a city are either perpendicular or parallel to one another. The streets are all straight. Streets N, O, P, Q and R are parallel to one another. Streets S, T, U, V, W, X and Y are horizontally parallel to one another,

(i) Street N is 1 km east of Street O.
(ii) Street O is 1/2 km west of Street P.
(iii) Street Q is 1 km west of Street R.
(iv) Street S is 1/2 km south of Street T.
(v) Street U is 1 km north of Street V.
(vi) Street W is 1/2 km north of Street X.
(vii) Street W is 1 km south of Street Y.

R is between O and P, then which of the following is false?

Options

• Q is 1.75 km west of N

• P is less than 1 km from Q

• R is less than 1 km from N

• Q is less than 1 km from O

Answer 1

P is less than 1 km from Q

Explanation:

The vertical North-South streets are N, O, P, Q, R. From the basic information we have two relative positions are available - one between O, P and N and the other between Q and R.

The horizontal east-west streets are S, T, U, V, W, X, Y. of these seven streets the relative positioning is given in 3 distinct part as shown here:

If R is between O and P, then Q being 1 km to the west of R, would be more than 1 km to the west of P. 'P is less than 1 km from Q' is correct.
