Topic Overview

Family tree mapping, coded relations (A + B means A is father of B), and 2D direction navigation.

Key Syllabus Concepts

  • Family Tree Representation Symbols (+ male, - female, = spouse, | parent-child)
  • Coded Blood Relation expression evaluation
  • Direction Sense: 8 cardinal directions (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW), Pythagoras theorem for shortest distance
  • Shadow directions (Sunrise shadow falls West, Sunset shadow falls East)

High-Yield Important Points & Rules

  • 💡 Do not assume gender from names; determine strictly from relationship descriptors.
  • 💡 Shortest distance d = √(Δx² + Δy²).
