Correct Answer

✅ Option b — North-East

All Options:

  • AEast
  • BNorth-East
  • CNorth-West
  • DSouth-West

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the initial direction East be represented as 0∘\displaystyle 0^\circ.
Shrikant turns 120∘\displaystyle 120^\circ clockwise, which is −120∘\displaystyle -120^\circ.
He then turns 180∘\displaystyle 180^\circ anticlockwise, which is +180∘\displaystyle +180^\circ.
His net angular position from East is:
Net Position=−120∘+180∘=+60∘\text{Net Position} = -120^\circ + 180^\circ = +60^\circ
Since +60∘\displaystyle +60^\circ is in the anticlockwise direction between 0∘\displaystyle 0^\circ (East) and 90∘\displaystyle 90^\circ (North), he is facing in the North-East direction.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
