Bearing Problems
1 / 25
A ship travels on bearing ${060}^{o}$. This means it is moving:
Reasoning: ${060}^{o}$ lies between North and East$ \Longrightarrow $North-East direction.
2 / 25
A plane flies on bearing ${180}^{o}$. Its direction is:
Reasoning: ${180}^{o}$ is directly South.
3 / 25
A bearing of ${090}^{o}$ corresponds to:
Reasoning: ${090}^{o}$ is East.
4 / 25
A ship moves from $A$ to $B$ on bearing ${135}^{o}$. This direction lies in:
Reasoning: ${135}^{o}$ is between East and South$ \Longrightarrow $South-East.
5 / 25
If a person walks on bearing ${225}^{o}$, the direction is:
Reasoning: ${225}^{o}$ lies between South and West.
6 / 25
A bearing of ${315}^{o}$ represents:
Reasoning: ${315}^{o}$ lies between North and West.
7 / 25
Two points are $10 km$ apart. If the bearing from $A$ to $B$ is ${030}^{o}$, then the return bearing from $B$ to $A$ is:
Reasoning: Opposite direction $=+ {180}^{o} \Longrightarrow {030}^{o}+{180}^{o}={210}^{o}$
8 / 25
A boat travels on bearing ${120}^{o}$. It then turns ${90}^{o}$ clockwise. New bearing is:
Reasoning: ${120}^{o}+{90}^{o}={210}^{o}$
9 / 25
A bearing of ${000}^{o}$ means direction:
Reasoning: ${000}^{o}$ or ${360}^{o}$ is North.
10 / 25
A plane flies ${50}^{o}$ east of north. Its bearing is:
Reasoning: Bearings are measured from North clockwise.
11 / 25
A ship sails on bearing ${200}^{o}$. This is closest to:
Reasoning: ${200}^{o}$ is slightly west of South.
12 / 25
A bearing of ${270}^{o}$ is:
Reasoning: ${270}^{o}$ is West.
13 / 25
If bearing from $A$ to $B$ is ${045}^{o}$, then $B$ to $A$ is:
Reasoning: ${045}^{o}+{180}^{o}={225}^{o}$
14 / 25
A person walks $10 km$ north then $10 km$ east. Final bearing from start to end is:
Reasoning: North-East direction $={045}^{o}$
15 / 25
Which bearing is exactly opposite to ${315}^{o}$?
Reasoning: ${315}^{o}+{180}^{o}={135}^{o}$
16 / 25
A plane moves on bearing ${090}^{o}$ then turns ${180}^{o}$. New direction is:
Reasoning: ${090}^{o}+ {180}^{o}={270}^{o} \Longrightarrow $West
17 / 25
A bearing increases in:
Reasoning: Standard convention.
18 / 25
A boat travels on bearing ${150}^{o}$ and returns directly. Return bearing is:
Reasoning: ${150}^{o}+{180}^{o}={330}^{o} \Longrightarrow $Actually reverse direction $={330}^{o}$ is correct return direction.
19 / 25
Which bearing lies in North-West direction?
Reasoning: ${315}^{o}$ is $NW$.
20 / 25
A ship moves from $A$ to $B$ on ${090}^{o}$ and then $B$ to $C$ on ${180}^{o}$. Turn made is:
Reasoning: East to South is right turn.
21 / 25
If a bearing is ${001}^{o}$, direction is:
Reasoning: Small clockwise angle from North.
22 / 25
A bearing of ${180}^{o}+{90}^{o}$ equals:
Reasoning: ${180}^{o}+{90}^{o}={270}^{o}$
23 / 25
A person moves $5 km$ on bearing ${060}^{o}$ then $5 km$ on ${240}^{o}$. Net displacement is:
Reasoning: Opposite directions cancel out.
24 / 25
Which pair are perpendicular bearings?
Reasoning: ${90}^{o}$ difference.
25 / 25
A bearing of ${360}^{o}$ is equivalent to:
Reasoning: ${360}^{o}={0}^{o}=$ North.
