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