Question

I am facing North-West. I turn ${90}^{\circ }$ in the clockwise direction, then ${180}^{\circ }$ in the anticlockwise direction and then another ${90}^{\circ }$ in the same direction. In which direction am I facing now?

• A. West
• B. South
• C. South-west
• D. South-east

Answer 1

The correct option is D South-east

Consider a Cartesian plane taking positive $X-$axis as East; negative $X-$axis as West; positive $Y-$axis as North and negative $Y-$axis as South.
When he turns at an angle of ${90}^0$ in clockwise it faces North-east and then ${180}^0$ in anti-clockwise direction means South-west.
Finally after turning ${90}^0$ degree it faces South-east.
