Question

A boy is moving towards north. He turns to his left by ${270}^{\circ }$. In which direction is he moving now?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

East

Initially the boy is heading towards North. Then he takes a left turn of ${270}^{\circ }$

As, ${270}^{\circ }$ = 3 $\times$ ${90}^{\circ }$

i.e. he turns by 3 quarters as shown, and heads towards East.
