Neha is facing east. She turns 100° in the clockwise direction and then 145° in the anticlockwise direction. Which direction is she facing now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → North-East
Turns in opposite directions partly cancel: a clockwise turn followed by a larger anticlockwise turn leaves a net anticlockwise turn equal to the difference.
Net turn: \(145^{\circ}-100^{\circ}=45^{\circ}\) anticlockwise
Turning 45° anticlockwise from East (halfway towards North) gives North-East
