From south-west you face north-east. You turn 90 degrees clockwise. Now you face:
ASouth-east
BNorth-west
CEast
DWest
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. South-east
1. Start direction: NE (i.e. 45 degrees east of north).
2. A clockwise 90 degree turn adds 90 degrees clockwise to the bearing.
3. NE rotated 90 degrees clockwise lands on SE.
4. So after the turn you face south-east.
