Answer – (A) : South-West

Answer – (B) : South

Answer – (C) : North-West

Answer – (D) : West

View Answer

Correct Answer : (A)

Explanation : 45° in clock wise, 180 in the same direction i.e, in clockwise direction, 270° in anticlock wise direction. Hence, the final direction is south-west. Another method: Total angle to be rotated in clockwise direction = 45 ° + 180 ° = 225 ° Total angle to be rotated in anticlockwise direction = 270 ° ∴Resultant angle to be rotated = 270 ° – 225 ° = 45 ° (anticlockwise) Thus, at the end, he is facing South-West direction.
