Majnu Bhai is facing northwest. He turns 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, then he turns 45 degrees in the anti-clockwise direction and finally he turns 135 degree in clockwise direction. Which direction is he facing now?

OPtion

1) Esst
2) North East
3) North West
4) West
5) South
6) North
7) South West
8) South East
9) North East or North West
10) None of these

Solution

Clockwise turns = 90+135 = 225
Anti-Clockwise turn = -45
Consolidated turn in clockwise direction = 225-45 = 180 degrees
Majnu bhai initially was facing north west direction, so on turning 180 degrees in clockwise the new direction would be south east
