Meena faces East. She turns 135° in a counterclockwise direction and then 45° in the same direction and 225° in the clockwise direction. Which direction is she facing now?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Meena starts facing East. Assigning angles to directions (measuring counterclockwise from East):

  • East = 0°
  • North = 90°
  • West = 180°
  • South = 270°
  • North-East = 45°
  • South-East = 315°

Initial position: 0° (East)


After turning 135° counterclockwise:

0°+135°=135°0° + 135° = 135°

This corresponds to North-West direction.


After turning another 45° counterclockwise:

135°+45°=180°135° + 45° = 180°

This corresponds to West direction.


After turning 225° clockwise (clockwise means negative):

180°−225°=−45°180° - 225° = -45°

Converting to standard angle:

−45°+360°=315°-45° + 360° = 315°

This corresponds to South-East direction.


Therefore, Meena is facing South-East.

The correct answer is Option 4: South-East.
