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