Ram is standing facing the East. He turns 45° in the clockwise direction and then 270° in the anti-clockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?
Answer: D
Ram now faces South-West.
Facing East, a 45° clockwise turn brings him to South-East. Turning 270° anticlockwise is the same as turning 90° clockwise, which takes him from South-East to South-West.
North-East is what you get by making the 270° turn clockwise instead, and North-West by reversing both turns.
Measuring directions clockwise from North in degrees: East is 90, the 45° clockwise turn gives 135 (South-East), and turning 270° anticlockwise gives 135 - 270 = -135, the same as 225, which is South-West. North would need a net turn of 90° anticlockwise from East.
