Question

If a man is facing west and turns $45^\circ$ clockwise, then $180^\circ$ clockwise, and then $270^\circ$ counterclockwise, in which direction is he facing now?

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 2

Concept: Direction sense (clockwise and anticlockwise turns).
Step 1: Initial direction.
\[ \text{Facing West} \]
Step 2: Turn $45^\circ$ clockwise.
\[ \text{West} \rightarrow \text{North-West} \]
Step 3: Turn $180^\circ$ clockwise.
\[ \text{North-West} \rightarrow \text{South-East} \]
Step 4: Turn $270^\circ$ counterclockwise.
\[ \text{South-East} \rightarrow \text{South-West} \]
Conclusion:
Thus, the final direction is
South-West.
