A person faces north. He turns 45° left, then 90° right, then 45° left. Which direction is he facing?
A. West
B. South
C. North
D. East
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
North (0°) -45° (left) = 315° (NW). +90° (right) = 45° (NE). -45° (left) = 0° (North). So back to north.

Question #1
If north becomes south-west, then what will south-east become? (Assuming 135° shift)
A. North
B. South
C. East
D. West

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
North (0°) -> SW (225°) is 225° shift? Actually SW is 225°, difference 225° clockwise. Apply same to SE (135°): 135°+225°=360°=0° North. So North.

Question #2
A man starts walking towards South and after taking a left turn he walks 30 metres. If he was then at a distance of 50 meters from the starting point, how much distance had he covered before turning to the left?
A. 40 meters
B. 30 meters
C. 50 meters
D. 60 meters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
This forms a right triangle where the final hypotenuse distance is 50m, and one leg (the horizontal walk) is 30m. The vertical walk (y) is found using Pythagoras: y² + 30² = 50² -> y² + 900 = 2500 -> y² = 1600 -> y = 40m.

Question #3
A man faces south. He turns 135° left, then 90° right. Which direction?
A. North-east
B. South-west
C. North-west
D. South-east

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
South (180°) left 135° = 180° - 135° = 45° (NE). Then right 90° = 135° (South-east)? Wait: 45° + 90° = 135° which is SE. So SE. Option C: South-east. I'll give answer South-east.
