A person walks 100 m Westward, then turns left and walks 100 m. He then takes 225° turn clockwise. In which direction is he walking now?
  1. South-West
  2. South-East
  3. North-West
  4. North-East

Solution

Walking West, then turning left means walking South. A 225° clockwise turn from facing South: South -> West (90°) -> North (180°) -> North-East (225°). Hence he is now walking towards the North-East.
