Question

A man is facing South. He turns 135$^\circ$ in the anti-clockwise direction and then 180$^\circ$ in the clockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

• A. North-East
• B. North-West
• C. South-East
• D. South-West

Hint:

Break angles into steps:
$135^\circ = 90^\circ + 45^\circ$, making direction changes easier to visualize.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Track rotations step-by-step using:

• Anti-clockwise (ACW) → Left turn
• Clockwise (CW) → Right turn

Step 1:Initial direction: \[ \text{Facing South} \]
Step 2:Turn $135^\circ$ anti-clockwise: \[ \text{South} \rightarrow \text{East} \rightarrow \text{North-East} \]
Step 3:Turn $180^\circ$ clockwise: \[ \text{North-East} \rightarrow \text{South-West} \]
Step 4:Final direction: \[ \text{South-West} \]
