Question

A man is facing East, turns \(90^\circ\) clockwise, then \(180^\circ\) anticlockwise, and then another \(90^\circ\) clockwise. In which direction is he facing?

• A. West
• B. East
• C. North
• D. South

Hint:

Always move step by step in direction problems—never try to shortcut multiple turns at once.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Direction-sense problems are solved by tracking each turn step by step, remembering:
Clockwise turn = right turn
Anticlockwise turn = left turn
Step 1: Initial direction The man starts facing East.
Step 2: First turn He turns \(90^\circ\) clockwise (right): \[ \text{East} \rightarrow \text{South} \]
Step 3: Second turn He turns \(180^\circ\) anticlockwise (left): \[ \text{South} \rightarrow \text{North} \]
Step 4: Third turn He turns another \(90^\circ\) clockwise: \[ \text{North} \rightarrow \text{East} \] Conclusion: After all the turns, the man is facing East.
Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{East}}\)
