Jainav is initially facing a certain direction. Then she turns 90° clockwise, after that she turns 180° anticlockwise. Then she turns 135° anticlockwise. She finally turns 180° clockwise. Now she is facing north-east direction. In which direction was Jainav initially facing before turning?
A. West
B. South
C. North-West
D. East
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Let clockwise turns be positive and anticlockwise be negative. Total turn = +90° - 180° - 135° + 180° = -45° (which means 45° anticlockwise). Her final direction is North-East. If she arrived at North-East after a 45° anticlockwise turn, her initial direction must have been East.
