Explanation:

- Let's break down Anand's bus journey.

- The bus starts from Anand’s house and takes a right turn, travels 3 km.

- Then, it takes a left turn and travels 2 km.

- Finally, another right turn and covers 4 km, arriving at school.

- At school, the bus faces southeast.

Let's find the initial direction:

- Let’s assume the initial direction is X.

- First right: now facing X + 90°

- Then left: now facing X + 90° - 90° = X (again)

- Then right: now facing X + 90°

So, after these turns, facing X + 90°, the direction is southeast.

What is X? It must be northeast, since northeast + 90° = southeast.
