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.
