Directional Clock Movement Analysis
To solve this, we map the clock positions to cardinal directions:
- 12 o'clock = North
- 9 o'clock = West
- 6 o'clock = South
- 3 o'clock = East
Step-by-Step Movement
-
Movement 1: 12 o'clock to 9 o'clock
The person starts facing North (12) and walks towards West (9). The final facing direction is West.
-
Movement 2: 9 o'clock to 6 o'clock
The person is now facing West (9) and walks towards South (6). The final facing direction is South.
-
Movement 3: 6 o'clock to 3 o'clock
The person is facing South (6) and walks towards East (3). The final facing direction is East.
Therefore, the person is finally facing the East direction.
Important Questions from Direction and Distance
Sita took an auto from her home in Andheri (A) to go to her college in Fatehpuri (F). Rather than continuing straight on the direct road to the college that had no turns, the auto driver took a diversion after 10 km and tumed right at Bandra (B) crossing, then at Colaba T- point (C) after 8 km turned left, again after covering 12 km turned left at Dalhousi Building (D) and soon after 8 km turned right at Elphinston point (E) and after covering 4 km reached Fatehpuri (F). Had the auto driver taken the direct route how much less distance would Sita have actually travelled between the starting point and the destination?
