Directions (Q-32): Two friends Amit and Raju started
walking from two different points. Amit, who started
from point P moved along a circular track and after
walking 22 km he reached point Q., from where he
turned left and walked 5km to reach point R after
which he stopped. Raju started from point U and after
walking 5km, he reached point T. From point T he
turned 450 towards his left and walked √8 km to
reach point S. After reaching point S, he turned 450 in
clockwise direction. He then moved ahead 5 km to
reach point R which is towards the west of point S.
Point P, Q, R and S are in a straight line.
