$ – North

@ – South

# – East

% – West

! – Either 3 or 8 m

& – Either 4 or 9 m

© – Either 1 or 6 m

(Examples: P@Q means P is South of QP$%Q means P is North-West of Q, P#!Q means P is East of Q at a distance of either 3 or 8 m)

Conditions given are as:

I. A %! B

II. A $! C

III. C %& D

IV. E @& B

V. D $© F

VI. E # F

(a) 8 m 

(b) 10 m

(c) 11 m 

(d) 5 m

(e) 4 m

S6. Ans (a)

Sol. P $ D means P is to the north of D at a distance of 8 m and P%B means P is to the west of B, so from these condition distance between A and C will be 8 m and A and P is 4m and P and B is 4 m. 

S7. Ans (e)

Sol. L @! A means L is south of A at a distance of either 3m or 8 m and L $ C means L is the north of C from both the condition distance between A and L is 3 m and L and C is 5m.

S8.  Ans (d)

Sol. K@C means K is to the south of C, and option d is definitely false as B$%K means B is to the north west of K which is definitely false as B is to the north east of K. 

S9. Ans (a)

Sol. As DF=6m then distance between AC will be 3m because distance of BE will be either 4m or 9m. If AC= 8m then the condition will not be satisfied.

S10. Ans (d)

Sol. Since distance between B and E is 4 m therefore, distance between A and C will be 3m and the distance
