Question 2
In the morning, if you are facing the sun, in which direction will your shadow fall?
In the morning, the sun is in the East. Since you are facing the sun, your shadow falls behind you, towards the West.
Question 3
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 4
A person facing South turns 90° anticlockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From South, turning 90° anticlockwise means rotating 90° anticlockwise. Final direction: East.
Question 5
In the morning, if you are facing the sun, in which direction will your shadow fall?
In the morning, the sun is in the East. Since you are facing the sun, your shadow falls behind you, towards the West.
Question 6
A person walks 10m North, then 24m East. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (24, 10). Shortest distance = √(24² + 10²) = 26.0 m.
Question 7
Y is 13m South of X. P is 14m East of X. What is the position of P relative to Y?
Position of Y: (0,0). X: (0, -13). P: (14, -13). P - Y = (14, -13) → East, 19.1m.
Question 8
A person starts facing West and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: left, then left, then right, then right. What is his final facing direction?
After full loop: left, then left, then right, then right, the net rotation is 360°, returning to West.
Question 9
A walks 23m North. B walks 17m South. The ratio of their distances from start is 1.35:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (0, 23), B at (0, -17). Difference: (0, -40) → South, 40.0m.
Question 10
A person is facing South. If he looks into a mirror placed in front of him, which direction does his reflection appear to be facing?
Mirror in front reflects your direction backwards. Facing South → reflection faces North.
Question 11
A person is facing North. He turns 180°. Which direction does he face now?
A 180° turn reverses direction. From North, turning 180° leads to South.
Question 12
A person facing West turns 270° anticlockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From West, turning 270° anticlockwise means rotating 270° anticlockwise. Final direction: North.
Question 13
A person is facing East. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from East means rotating 90° right. From East, right leads to South.
Question 14
A walks 25m North. B walks 10m West. The ratio of their distances from start is 2.5:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (0, 25), B at (-10, 0). Difference: (-10, -25) → South, 26.9m.
Question 15
At 3:00, the hour hand points exactly towards East. If a person is facing North, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 3:00, hour hand is at East (90.0°). Person faces North (0°). Angular difference: 90.0°. The hour hand is to his right.
Question 16
A person facing North turns 90° clockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From North, turning 90° clockwise means rotating 90° clockwise. Final direction: East.
Question 17
A person starts facing South and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: right, then right, then left, then left. What is his final facing direction?
After full loop: right, then right, then left, then left, the net rotation is 360°, returning to South.
Question 18
A 26m tall person is standing outside at 6:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 19
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 20
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 South, right → West, then left → South. South is coded as #.
