A person is facing East. The person turns 180° anticlockwise, then 45° clockwise, then 180° anticlockwise. Which direction is the person facing now?

A. North-West
B. South-East✓ Correct Answer
C. South-West
D. North-East

💡 Solution & Explanation

Count clockwise turns as + and anticlockwise as −: −180° +45° −180° = −315°, which is the same as 45° clockwise. Turning 45° clockwise from East gives South-East (each 45° moves one point on the compass).
