Incorrect AnswerNorth-East
Correct AnswerExplanation:
- The person first walks 100 m West.
- Then, he turns left (from West, a left turn is South) and walks another 100 m. Now, he's facing South.
- Next, he takes a 225° clockwise turn.
- Clockwise from South:
- 180° would make him face North.
- Another 45° (180° + 45° = 225°), brings him to North-East.
- So, after all movements, he is facing North-East.
