Shivam is facing towards West and turns through \[45{}^\circ \]clockwise, again \[180{}^\circ \]clockwise and then turns through \[270{}^\circ \] anti-clockwise. In which direction is he facing now?

A)  West               

B)  North-West

C)  South  

D)  South-West

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

As shown in the adjacent figure, Shivam initially faces in the direction OA. On moving \[45{}^\circ \] clockwise, the man faces in the direction OB. On further moving 180° clockwise, he faces in the direction OC. Finally, on moving \[270{}^\circ \] anti-clockwise, he faces in the direction, OD, which is South-west.
