Question

Aman is facing East. He turns 120° clockwise, then 210° anticlockwise. Which direction is he facing now?

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

Hint:

Calculate the net angle by subtracting the smaller turn from the larger one. The direction remains with the larger turn's sign (CW or ACW).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyse options.
- Aman starts facing East ($0^\circ$ or $90^\circ$ on a compass). - Net movement: $210^\circ \text{ (Anticlockwise)} - 120^\circ \text{ (Clockwise)} = 90^\circ \text{ Anticlockwise}$. - Turning $90^\circ$ anticlockwise from East leads to North.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Aman is now facing North. Final Answer: (a) North
