Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A person starts facing East, turns 270 degrees clockwise, and then turns 90 degrees anti-clockwise. What direction is he facing now? (2023)
  • Step 1: Start facing East.
  • Step 2: Turn 270 degrees clockwise. This means you turn right three-quarters of a full circle.
  • Step 3: From East, turning 90 degrees clockwise goes to South (90 degrees), then to West (180 degrees), and finally to North (270 degrees). So, after a 270 degrees clockwise turn, you are now facing South.
  • Step 4: Now, turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. This means you turn left from South.
  • Step 5: From South, turning 90 degrees anti-clockwise goes to East.
