Question

A man is facing North-West. He turns ${90}^o$ in the clockwise direction, then ${180}^o$ in the anticlockwise direction and then another ${90}^o$ in the same direction. Which direction is he facing now?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D South-East

As shown in Fig. the man initially faces in the direction OA. On
moving ${90}^o$ clockwise, he faces in the
direction OB. On further moving ${180}^o$ anticlockwise, he faces in the direction OC. Finally on
moving ${90}^o$ anti-clockwise, he faces in the
direction OD, which is South-East.
