Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Solution: Determine the final direction step by step.

  1. Start facing West.

  2. Turn 135° clockwise: a 90° clockwise turn from West points to North, and an extra 45° clockwise points to North-East.

  3. Turn 180° anticlockwise: a 180° reversal from North-East points to South-West.

  4. Turn 45° clockwise: turning 45° right from South-West points to West.

Final direction: West.
