Reasoning • Direction & DistanceEasy
A person is facing North-East. The person turns 90° anticlockwise, then 135° anticlockwise, then 135° clockwise. Which direction is the person facing now?
A. North-West✓ Correct Answer
B. South-East
C. South-West
D. North-East
💡 Solution & Explanation
Count clockwise turns as + and anticlockwise as −: −90° −135° +135° = −90°, a net turn of 90° anticlockwise. Turning 90° anticlockwise from North-East gives North-West (each 45° moves one point on the compass).
