Question

Which direction will you face if you start facing

(a) East and make of a revolution clockwise?

(b) East and make of a revolution clockwise?

(c) West and make of a revolution anti-clockwise?

(d) South and make one full revolution?

(Should we specify clockwise or anti-clockwise for this last question? Why not? )

Answer 1

If we revolve one complete round in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, then we will revolve by 360º and the two adjacent directions will be at 90º or of a complete revolution away from each other.

(a) If we start facing East and make of a revolution clockwise, then we will face the West direction.

​​

(b) If we start facing East and make of a revolution clockwise, then we will face the West direction.

(c) If we start facing West and make of a revolution anti-clockwise, then we will face the North direction.

(d) If we start facing South and make a full revolution, then we will again

face the South direction.

In case of revolving by 1 complete round, the direction in which we are revolving does not matter. In both cases, clockwise or anti-clockwise, we will be back at our initial position.
