Question

Alex who was facing the West direction turns 135 degrees in the clockwise direction and then turns 45 degrees in the anti-clockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

  1. A. North (Correct answer)
  2. B. South
  3. C. North-East
  4. D. South-West

Correct Answer

Option A — North

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Using compass bearings (0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West): Alex starts facing West (270 degrees). Turns 135 degrees clockwise: 270 + 135 = 405 = 45 degrees = North-East. Then turns 45 degrees anti-clockwise: 45 - 45 = 0 degrees = North. Alex is now facing North. Clockwise rotation increases the degree value; anti-clockwise decreases it. A full circle is 360 degrees.
