Question

A truck was facing the south. It turned 135° in the clockwise direction and then 45° in the anti-clockwise direction then moved 5 km. Then moved 45° in the anti-clockwise. In which direction is the truck facing now?

The correct answer is

South-west

Start facing South.

135° clockwise from South: South → West is 90°, a further 45° gives North-West.

45° anti-clockwise from North-West gives West. The truck then moves 5 km (this does not change the facing direction).

A further 45° anti-clockwise from West gives South-West.

Hence, South-west.
