Question

• A. North
• B. South
• C. East
• D. West

Answer 1

Answer:

D. West

The position of Hisar with respect to Panipat is West.

1. Bhiwani and New Delhi: Bhiwani is to the west of New Delhi.
   $\text{Bhiwani} \longleftarrow \text{New Delhi}$

2. Hisar and Bhiwani: Hisar is to the north of Bhiwani.
   $\begin{array}{c} \text{\textbf{Hisar}} \\ \uparrow \\ \text{Bhiwani} \end{array}$

3. Rohtak, Panipat, and New Delhi: Rohtak is to the east of New Delhi, and to the south of Panipat.
   $\begin{array}{c} \text{\textbf{Panipat}} \\ \downarrow \\ \text{New Delhi} \longrightarrow \text{Rohtak} \end{array}$

Combined Layout

When you stitch these relative positions together on a standard directional grid (North, South, East, West), the horizontal alignment reveals their placement from left to right:

$\begin{array}{ccccc} \text{\textbf{Hisar}} & & & & \text{\textbf{Panipat}} \\ \downarrow & & & & \downarrow \\ \text{Bhiwani} & \longrightarrow & \text{New Delhi} & \longrightarrow & \text{Rohtak} \end{array}$

Because Hisar and Panipat sit along the northern line relative to Bhiwani and Rohtak, Hisar lies directly to the West of Panipat.
