The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze Shikha's rowing direction and the angles she turns. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Direction:** Shikha is initially rowing her boat due North-East (NE). 2. **Understanding Angles:** - A **straight angle** is 180 degrees. - A **complete angle** is 360 degrees. 3. **First Part: Turning through a Straight Angle (180 degrees):** - If Shikha turns through a straight angle from North-East, she will turn 180 degrees. - To visualize this, if she is facing North-East and turns 180 degrees, she will end up facing South-West (SW). - **Conclusion for Part (i):** After turning a straight angle, Shikha will be rowing in the South-West direction. 4. **Second Part: Turning through a Complete Angle (360 degrees):** - If Shikha turns through a complete angle from North-East, she will turn 360 degrees. - A complete angle means she makes a full rotation and ends up facing the same direction she started. - **Conclusion for Part (ii):** After turning a complete angle, Shikha will still be rowing in the North-East direction. ### Final Answers: - (i) After turning a straight angle, Shikha will be rowing in the South-West direction. - (ii) After turning a complete angle, Shikha will still be rowing in the North-East direction.
