  1. Question 1

    Q1. A man walks 3 km north, then 4 km east. What is his final direction from the starting point?

    • A) North-East
    • B) North-West
    • C) South-East
    • D) South-West

    Answer: North-East

    Explanation: Use Pythagoras theorem and trigonometry to find the direction. The man is 3 km north and 4 km east, so he is √(3² + 4²) = 5 km away at an angle tan^-1(3/4) north of east.
