Kavya faces south-west. She turns 135° anticlockwise and then 90° clockwise. In which direction is she facing now?
Kavya faces south. The net turn is 135° anticlockwise minus 90° clockwise, which is 45° anticlockwise. Starting from south-west, a 45° anticlockwise turn points her to the south.

Explanation
Facing south-west, a 135° anticlockwise turn goes south-west to south (45°), then south to south-east (90°), then east (135°). Now she faces east. A 90° clockwise turn from east leads to south. Recheck the net turn: 135° anticlockwise minus 90° is 45° anticlockwise, and south-west moved 45° anticlockwise gives south. Turning clockwise 135° first would be a wrong direction.
