Show Hint
Breaking the rotation into segments helps visualize the change in direction more accurately. Drawing a compass diagram can simplify complex direction problems.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
- Initially, the man is facing West.
- He turns 45° clockwise ⇒ Facing South-West.
- Then he turns another 180° clockwise ⇒ Facing North-East.
- Finally, he turns 270° anticlockwise (one full circle minus 90°) ⇒ Facing South-West.
Thus, the correct direction is South-West.
- He turns 45° clockwise ⇒ Facing South-West.
- Then he turns another 180° clockwise ⇒ Facing North-East.
- Finally, he turns 270° anticlockwise (one full circle minus 90°) ⇒ Facing South-West.
Thus, the correct direction is South-West.
