Sheela started walking in North direction to reach a Shop A. Later she realised that the shop is in 155 degree in anti-clock direction. Again it was found that she is in wrong direction, so she took a 200 degree turn in clock wise direction. Which direction is she facing now?
- A.
South - east
- B.
South-west
- C.
North-west
- D.
North-east

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Solution:
Start facing North. Take North as 0°.
She turns 155° anticlockwise from North. Anticlockwise 155° is equivalent to clockwise (360° − 155°) = 205° from North, so she now faces the 205° bearing (in the south–west quadrant).
She then turns 200° clockwise. Add 200° to the current 205°: 205° + 200° = 405°.
Reduce modulo 360°: 405° − 360° = 45°. A bearing of 45° from North corresponds to the northeast direction.
Therefore, she is facing northeast.
