A man is facing towards the east. He then turns 45° anti-clockwise, again 180° anti-clockwise and then 225° clockwise. In which direction is he facing now?

  1. A. West
  2. B. North

Correct Answer

Option D — East

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is East.

Key Points

  • Starting: East (90°).
  • Turn 45° anti-clockwise → NE (45°).
  • Turn 180° anti-clockwise → SW (225°).
  • Turn 225° clockwise: 225°+225°=450°; 450°-360°=90° → East. Final direction: East.
