Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution: Determine the final direction step by step.
Start facing West.
Turn 135° clockwise: a 90° clockwise turn from West points to North, and an extra 45° clockwise points to North-East.
Turn 180° anticlockwise: a 180° reversal from North-East points to South-West.
Turn 45° clockwise: turning 45° right from South-West points to West.
Final direction: West.
