Rita is standing facing south-east. First, she turns 135° clockwise. After that, she turns 90° anticlockwise. Then 45° clockwise, then 135° anticlockwise. In which direction is she facing now?
A. South-east
B. East
C. South
D. north-east
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total turn = +135° (CW) - 90° (CCW) + 45° (CW) - 135° (CCW) = -45° (45° anticlockwise). Starting from South-East, a 45° anticlockwise turn puts her facing East.

Question #3
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. North-West
B. South
C. East
D. West

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
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.
