Reasoning question from Laboratory Attendant exam, 2026 by JKSSB

A man faces south. He turns 90º clockwise, then 180° anticlockwise, and again 270° clock wise. Which direction is he facing now?

Last updated Sep 11, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — North
1. Calculate the total turns:

Clockwise turns: 90 degrees plus 270 degrees = 360 degrees

Anticlockwise turns: 180 degrees

2. Find the net movement:

Net turn = 360 degrees clockwise minus 180 degrees anticlockwise = 180 degrees clockwise

3. Final Direction:

Starting facing South, turning 180 degrees puts him in the exact opposite direction.

The opposite of South is North.
