The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the movements described: 1. **Initial Direction**: The person starts walking down a road facing the sun. Since the sun rises in the east, the person is initially walking towards the east. 2. **First Turn (Left)**: After walking for some time, the person turns to their left. - From the east direction, turning left means the person is now facing north. 3. **Second Turn (Right)**: Next, the person turns to their right. - From facing north, turning right means the person is now facing east again. 4. **Final Direction**: After both turns, the person ends up facing east once more. Thus, the final direction the person is going is **east**. ### Summary of Steps: 1. Start facing east (towards the sun). 2. Turn left to face north. 3. Turn right to face east again. ### Final Answer: The person is going in the **east** direction.

When a boat travels in a river (strictly in a straight line), it can go either in the direction of flow of river (i.e downstream) or in the direction opposite the flow of river (i.e. upstrem ). Thus the boat's actual speed is more than by which it can move in stationary water while travelling downstram (as river's flow speed is added to it) and less while travelling upstream (as the boat moves against the flow of river).Based on the given information answer the following questions A boat going downstream in a following river overcome a raft at a point P. 1 h later it turned back and after some time passed the raft at a distance 6 km from point P. After reversing its direction ,how much time was taken by the boat to meet the raft again ( i.e. 2^(nd) time) ?
