Anita is standing facing the north direction. Then, she turns 135° anticlockwise. After that, she turns 90° clockwise. In which direction is she facing now?

ANorth-east

BSouth-west

CNorth-west

DSouth-east

Answer:

C. North-west

Read Explanation:

Anita is now facing the North-West direction.

  • Initial Direction: Facing North.

  • Anticlockwise (ACW) Turn: 135°

  • Clockwise (CW) Turn: 90°

Net Turn:
135 (ACW)90 (CW)=45 (ACW)135 \text{ (ACW)} - 90 \text{ (CW)} = 45 \text{ (ACW)}

Turning 45° anticlockwise (to the left) from North points directly to the North-West.
