A man is facing north. He turns 45 degree in the clockwise direction and then another 180 degree in the same direction and then 45 degree in the anticlockwise direction. Find which direction he is facing now.

Option c: South. Solution: Start facing North (0^circ CW). 1. Turn 45^circ CW rightarrow 45^circ CW (North-East). 2. Turn 180^circ CW rightarrow 225^circ CW (South-West). 3. Turn 45^circ ACW rightarrow 180^circ CW (South). Final direction is South. Discrepancy: The textbook key lists Option D (West), but the correct direction is South (Option C). Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

A man is facing north. He turns $45$ degree in the clockwise direction and then another $180$ degree in the same direction and then $45$ degree in the anticlockwise direction. Find which direction he is facing now.

The correct answer is Option c: South. Start facing North ($0^\circ$ CW). 1. Turn $45^\circ$ CW $\rightarrow 45^\circ$ CW (North-East). 2. Turn $180^\circ$ CW $\rightarrow 225^\circ$ CW (South-West). 3. Turn $45^\circ$ ACW $\rightarrow 180^\circ$ CW (South). Final direction is South. *Discrepancy*: The textbook key lists Option D (West), but the correct direction is South (Option C). Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start facing North (

\displaystyle 0^\circ

CW).
1. Turn

\displaystyle 45^\circ

\displaystyle \rightarrow 45^\circ

CW (North-East).
2. Turn

\displaystyle 180^\circ

\displaystyle \rightarrow 225^\circ

CW (South-West).
3. Turn

\displaystyle 45^\circ

ACW

\displaystyle \rightarrow 180^\circ

CW (South).
Final direction is South.
*Discrepancy*: The textbook key lists Option D (West), but the correct direction is South (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
