Question

What part of a revolution have you turned through if you stand facing:

West and turn clockwise to face east?

Open in App
Solution

In order to face towards the east after turning clockwise from facing towards the west, one must turn 24th or 12 of a full revolution.


A full revolution, in this case, will be four 90 rotations in the clockwise direction.

One 90 rotation will be towards north and another will be towards the east.

Hence, required turn is half of the revolution.
