- 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.
