Question

Consider the following statements:
There are six villages A, B, C, D, E and F. F is 1 km. to the West of D. B is 1 km. to the East of E. A is 2 km. to the North of E. C is 1 km. to the East of A. D is 1 km. to the South of A. Which three villages are in a line?

A.

A, D, E

B.

A, B, C

C.

B, D, E

D.

B, C, F

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) A, D, E

Step 1: Analyze Positions of Villages

Step 2: Plot the Positions Using a Coordinate System

Assume E is at (0, 0) for simplicity:

Step 3: Identify Villages in a Straight Line

Check possible collinearity (straight-line alignment):

Other Combinations:

Conclusion:

The villages A, D, and E are in a straight line.

  • F is 1 km to the West of D
    • F and D are aligned horizontally, with F to the west of D.
  • B is 1 km to the East of E
    • B and E are aligned horizontally, with B to the east of E.
  • A is 2 km to the North of E
    • A is vertically 2 km above E.
  • C is 1 km to the East of A
    • C is horizontally 1 km to the right (east) of A.
  • D is 1 km to the South of A
    • D is vertically 1 km below A.
  • B: 1 km east of E → (1, 0)
  • A: 2 km north of E → (0, 2)
  • C: 1 km east of A → (1, 2)
  • D: 1 km south of A → (0, 1)
  • F: 1 km west of D → (-1, 1)
  • A (0, 2), D (0, 1), E (0, 0):
    • These villages lie on the same vertical line (x = 0).
  • B (1, 0), E (0, 0), F (-1, 1): Not collinear.
  • B (1, 0), C (1, 2), A (0, 2): Not collinear.
  • B (1, 0), C (1, 2), F (-1, 1): Not collinear.
