Question 2
A walks 44m North. B walks 38m South. The ratio of their distances from start is 1.16:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (0, 44), B at (0, -38). Difference: (0, -82) → South, 82.0m.
Question 3
A ship is traveling on a bearing of Southwest (225°). If it turns 90° clockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 225°. Clockwise turn of 90° → 315° = Northwest.
Question 4
In a certain code, ↑ means North, ↓ means South, → means East, ← means West. A person starts facing →, turns right, then turns left. Which code represents his final direction?
From East, right → South, then left → East. East is coded as →.
Question 5
At 9:00, the hour hand points exactly towards West. If a person is facing East, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 9:00, hour hand is at West (270.0°). Person faces East (90°). Angular difference: 180.0°. The hour hand is behind.
Question 6
A 12m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 12 × tan(15°) = 3.2 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 7
A person is facing South. He turns 180°. Which direction does he face now?
A 180° turn reverses direction. From South, turning 180° leads to North.
Question 8
A person is facing South. If he turns left, which direction is he now facing?
Turning left from South means rotating 90° left. From South, left leads to East.
Question 9
A person facing East turns 90° clockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From East, turning 90° clockwise means rotating 90° clockwise. Final direction: South.
Question 10
In a certain code, A means North, B means South, C means East, D means West. A person starts facing D, turns right, then turns left. Which code represents his final direction?
From West, right → North, then left → West. West is coded as D.
Question 11
A walks 40m West. B walks 28m East. The ratio of their distances from start is 1.43:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (-40, 0), B at (28, 0). Difference: (68, 0) → East, 68.0m.
Question 12
In a certain code, A means North, B means South, C means East, D means West. A person starts facing D, turns left, then turns right. Which code represents his final direction?
From West, left → South, then right → West. West is coded as D.
Question 13
A 10m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 10 × tan(15°) = 2.7 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 14
At noon, if a person is standing outside, in which direction does his shadow fall?
At noon, the sun is directly overhead, so shadows are cast directly below the person, not in any specific horizontal direction.
Question 15
A person is facing West. He turns 180°. Which direction does he face now?
A 180° turn reverses direction. From West, turning 180° leads to East.
Question 16
A person starts at point A and walks 21m towards North, then 7m towards South. What is his final position relative to point A?
Net displacement: 0m East-West, 14m North-South. Final direction: North, distance: 14.0m.
Question 17
A man is facing East. He turns left. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning left from East, he faces North. The opposite of North is South.
Question 18
At 12:00 PM (noon), the sun is in the overhead (South in Northern Hemisphere). If a person is facing East, where will his shadow fall?
At 12:00 PM (noon), sun is in overhead (South in Northern Hemisphere). Shadow falls opposite to sun. From East, shadow direction = below the person.
Question 19
A person is facing East. He reverses his direction. Which direction does he face now?
Reversing direction means turning 180°. From East, the opposite direction is West.
Question 20
A person is facing South. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from South means rotating 90° right. From South, right leads to West.
