Question 2
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 3
A ship is traveling on a bearing of Southeast (135°). If it turns 90° clockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 135°. Clockwise turn of 90° → 225° = Southwest.
Question 4
At 12:00, the hour hand points exactly towards North. If a person is facing South, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 12:00, hour hand is at North (0.0°). Person faces South (180°). Angular difference: 180.0°. The hour hand is behind.
Question 5
A person starts at point A and walks 14m towards East, then 8m towards North. What is his final position relative to point A?
Net displacement: 14m East-West, 8m North-South. Final direction: East, distance: 16.1m.
Question 6
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 7
X is 18m South of P. C is 44m North of P. What is the position of C relative to X?
Position of X: (0,0). P: (0, -18). C: (0, 26). C - X = (0, 26) → North, 26.0m.
Question 8
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 9
A person is facing West. If he looks into a mirror placed to the left of him, which direction does his reflection appear to be facing?
Mirror on left reflects your left side, making you appear to face North.
Question 10
A 25m tall person is standing outside at 15:00 afternoon. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 25 × tan(15°) = 6.7 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).
Question 11
A person is facing North. 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 North → reflection faces South.
Question 12
A person wants to go from (0,0) to (3, 4) but there is an obstacle at (1, 3). He can only move North or East. What sequence of directions should he take to avoid the obstacle?
Direct path blocked at (1, 3). Detour: first move East to clear obstacle's x-coordinate, then North. Final destination: (3, 4).
Question 13
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 14
A scout is traveling on a bearing of East (90°). If it turns 90° clockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 90°. Clockwise turn of 90° → 180° = South.
Question 15
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 16
At 3:00, the hour hand points exactly towards East. If a person is facing South, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 3:00, hour hand is at East (90.0°). Person faces South (180°). Angular difference: 90.0°. The hour hand is to his left.
Question 17
A 29m 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) = 29 × tan(30°) = 16.7 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 18
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 19
A person is initially facing South. He turns left, right, and then right. Which direction is he finally facing?
Start: South. left → right → right → Final: West.
Question 20
A person starts at point A and walks 11m towards East, then 6m towards West. What is his final position relative to point A?
Net displacement: 5m East-West, 0m North-South. Final direction: East, distance: 5.0m.
