Reena was standing facing northwest. She turned 90 degrees in the anticlockwise direction, then turned 180 degrees in the anticlockwise direction, and finally turned 45 degrees in the clockwise direction. Which direction is Reena facing now?

a) North
b) South
c) East
d) West

Answer 1

After performing all the described turns from a northwest orientation, Reena is now facing a) North.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reena was originally facing northwest. She made several turns as described in the question:

• First, she turned 90 degrees in the anticlockwise direction, which would have her face southwest.
• Second, she turned 180 degrees in the anticlockwise direction, now facing northeast.
• Finally, she turned 45 degrees in the clockwise direction, which would then have her facing exactly north.

Thus, Reena is now facing North.
