A dog is facing north. The dog turns 90° in the clockwise direction and then turns 60° in the anti-clockwise direction. In which direction is the dog facing now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → North-east
Each turn is taken from the direction the dog is facing at that moment; a clockwise turn moves it from North towards East, an anti-clockwise turn back towards North.
Facing North, 90° clockwise: East
Facing East, 60° anti-clockwise: back towards North, stopping 30° short of it
So the dog faces 30° east of North, between North and East: the north-east
