Solution

The correct example of daily activities involving scalar quantity is "Measuring the volume of rain water".

Scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone. In this case, the volume of rain water is a scalar quantity because it only involves the magnitude (how much rain water), not the direction.

On the other hand, hiking a waterfall which is 3 km to the North, travelling at 100 km/h from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur, and describing the location of a hidden treasure all involve both magnitude and direction, making them vector quantities, not scalar.
