Question

Difficulty: EasyDirection and Distance Test

Match each directional movement or facing scenario in List I with its corresponding final facing direction in List II.

  • A person facing North turns 9090^\circ clockwise and then 180180^\circ counter-clockwise.West
  • A person walking towards the morning sun makes a single right turn.South
  • A person facing South turns 4545^\circ anti-clockwise.South-East
  • A person facing North-West turns 9090^\circ clockwise.North-East

Answer

The correct matches are: (1) Person facing North turning 9090^\circ clockwise and 180180^\circ counter-clockwise matches West; (2) Person walking toward morning sun turning right matches South; (3) Person facing South turning 4545^\circ anti-clockwise matches South-East; (4) Person facing North-West turning 9090^\circ clockwise matches North-East.
Each scenario in List I is correctly mapped by evaluating angular turns and basic cardinal orientation relative to starting vectors.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze item 1 in List I
Facing North +90+ 90^\circ CW == East. East +180+ 180^\circ CCW == West.
Clockwise turns move rightwards on a compass, while counter-clockwise turns move leftwards.
2
Analyze item 2 in List I
Morning sun indicates East. Turning right from East leads to South.
Identifies initial facing direction implicitly from solar position.
3
Analyze item 3 in List I
Facing South 45- 45^\circ (anti-clockwise) == South-East.
An anti-clockwise shift from South rotates toward East.
4
Analyze item 4 in List I
Facing North-West +90+ 90^\circ (clockwise) == North-East.
A perpendicular right-hand turn from North-West points directly to North-East.
