Reasoning • Direction & DistanceEasy
A person is facing South-West. The person turns 180° anticlockwise, then 90° anticlockwise, then 180° clockwise. Which direction is the person facing now?
A. North-West
B. North-East
C. South-East✓ Correct Answer
D. South-West
💡 Solution & Explanation
Count clockwise turns as + and anticlockwise as −: −180° −90° +180° = −90°, a net turn of 90° anticlockwise. Turning 90° anticlockwise from South-West gives South-East (each 45° moves one point on the compass).
