A man is facing west. He turns 45° in the clockwise direction and then another 180° in the same direction and then 270° in the anti-clockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?
A. South
B. South-West
C. North-West
D. West
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Start West. +45° CW → North-West. +180° CW → South-East. Then 270° ACW from South-East: 270° ACW is equivalent to 90° CW, so South-East +90° CW → South-West.
