Reasoning • Direction & DistanceEasy
A person is facing South-West. The person turns 45° anticlockwise, then 135° anticlockwise. Which direction is the person facing now?
A. South-West
B. North-East✓ Correct Answer
C. South-East
D. North-West
💡 Solution & Explanation
Count clockwise turns as + and anticlockwise as −: −45° −135° = −180°, which is the same as 180° clockwise. Turning 180° clockwise from South-West gives North-East (each 45° moves one point on the compass).
