Nimisha started walking towards south to reach her school which is 5 km away. From there she turns `180^(@)` in clockwise and then `45^(@)` in anticlockwise direction. Which direction is she facing now from her school ?

Options

A. South
B. North
C. South-east
D. North-west

Answer

D

Explanation

The movements of Nimisha are as shown in Fig., i.e. P to Q, Q to R and R to S.
(1) =Turns `180^(@)` clockwise
(2) = Turns `45^(@)` anticlockwise

Nimisha is walking towards the south. Now, if she turns `180^(@)` (in any direction), then she will be facing North.
Finally, turning `45^(@)` in anticlockwise direction, she will be facing North-West direction.
Therefore, she is facing the North-west.
