What is Direction Sense?

Direction sense ability is  to find one's way around easily in a new place a good/poor sense of direction.

Here, Distance travel together = 4 miles.

         After changing their direction distance covered by them = 1.4 miles.

       Group A turns 48⁰ towards north

    So, total distance covered by group A = 1.4 + 4 X sin 48⁰

                                                                    = 1.4 + 4 X 0.7341

                                                                    = 4.34 miles.

     Group B turns 32⁰ towards south.

Similarly, distance covered by group B = 1.4 + 4 X cos 32⁰

                                                                = 1.4 + 4 X 0.8480

                                                                = 4.79 miles.

Thus, Group B is farther from camp in comparative to other Group A.
