Ananyaa is facing North-West, she then turns 90 degrees in clockwise direction and then 135 degrees in anti-clockwise direction.
In which direction is Ananyaa facing finally?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → West
On the compass the eight directions are 45° apart. Each turn is counted from the direction Ananyaa is facing at that moment: clockwise goes N → NE → E, anticlockwise goes N → NW → W.
She starts facing North-West
90° clockwise is two 45° steps: NW → N → North-East
135° anticlockwise is three 45° steps: NE → N → NW → West
