A man is facing west. He turns 90° clockwise, then 180° counterclockwise, then 90° clockwise again. Which direction is he facing now?

Correct answer: B. South

  • A. North
  • B. South
  • C. East
  • D. West

Explanation

The man starts facing West. A 90° clockwise turn from West points him North. Then, a 180° counterclockwise turn from North points him South. Finally, another 90° clockwise turn from South results in facing South again. Therefore, he ends up facing South. The other directions are incorrect because they result from miscalculating the sequence or direction of the turns.
