Reasoning question from Social Forest Worker exam, 2026 by JKSSB

A man is facing north. He turns 135 degrees in the anti-clockwise direction. Then he turned 180 degrees in a clockwise direction. In which direction is he facing now?  

Last updated Jul 21, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — North-east
Step-by-Step Breakdown
Initial Direction: Facing North

First Turn (135 degrees anti-clockwise):
Turning 135 degrees anti-clockwise from North puts him facing South-west.

Second Turn (180 degrees clockwise):
Turning 180 degrees from South-west puts him directly opposite, facing North-east.

Alternative Method (Net Calculation)
Clockwise movement: 180 degrees

Anti-clockwise movement: 135 degrees

Net turn: 180 minus 135 = 45 degrees clockwise

45 degrees clockwise from North is North-east.
