Question

A, B, C and D are standing on the four corners of a square field as shown in the figure. From the positions shown in the figure, A walks to North position and B walks to the East position while C decides to walk two sides in anticlockwise direction. B walks to North and then changes his mind to take the previous position. Identify the choice with correct positions.

• A. A & B occupy the same position.
• B. C & D occupy the same position.
• C. D & B are in their original positions.
• D. B & C are diagonally opposite positions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's analyze the movements of each individual based on the starting positions at the corners of a square field.

Assume the square is oriented with its sides parallel to the cardinal directions (North, South, East, West):

• A starts at the bottom left corner and moves North, placing him at the top left corner.
• B starts at the bottom right corner, moves East, but then returns to his original position. Thus, B remains at the bottom right corner.
• C starts at the top right corner and walks two sides anticlockwise. Moving anticlockwise, C first goes to the top left corner (1st move), then to the bottom left corner (2nd move).
• D remains at the top left corner as no movement is described for D.

After all movements:

• A is at the top left corner.
• B is at the bottom right corner.
• C is at the bottom left corner.
• D is at the top left corner.

From the positions noted, B is at the bottom right corner and C is at the bottom left corner, making them diagonally opposite.

Thus, the correct position is: B & C are diagonally opposite positions.
