Correct Answer:
Option B —
South-East
To find the final direction, we can look at the total movement starting from East.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
Starting Point: The man is facing East.
First Turn: He turns 135 degrees clockwise.
A 90-degree clockwise turn from East would put him at South.
Adding another 45 degrees (to make 135 total) puts him exactly halfway between South and West. He is now facing South-West.
Second Turn: From South-West, he turns 90 degrees anticlockwise.
Turning 45 degrees anticlockwise takes him back to South.
Turning the remaining 45 degrees (to make 90 total) takes him to the direction between South and East.
The Result
The man is now facing South-East.
Simple Shortcut
You can also find the difference between the two movements:
Subtract the smaller turn from the larger one: 135 minus 90 equals 45 degrees.
Since the clockwise turn was larger, the net movement is 45 degrees clockwise.
Turning 45 degrees clockwise from East moves the man directly into the South-East position.
