A man is facing north-west. He turns 90° in the clockwise direction and then 135° in the anticlockwise direction, which direction is he facing now?

Correct option is B

Starting at North-West, a 90° clockwise turn lands him at North-East. From there, turning 135° anticlockwise (which is three 45° steps) brings him to the West.

Initial Direction:

• The man is facing North-West.

Step 1: Turns 90° clockwise

• Turning 90° clockwise from North-West brings him to North-East.

Step 2: Turns 135° anticlockwise

• Turning 135° anticlockwise from North-East:
  
  

• 45° takes him to North

• Another 45° takes him to North-West

• Another 45° takes him to West

So, final direction = West
