Meera is facing south-east. She turns 135° clockwise. Which direction is she facing now?

Explanation
Clockwise order from south-east: south (45°), south-west (90°), west (135°). So after 135° clockwise she faces west. Hmm, recheck: south-east is at 135° from north; adding 135° gives 270°, which is west. Hence the answer is west, and north-west (315°) would need 180° of turn.
Did you get it right without looking?
One question tells you little. A timed set on Direction Tests shows your real accuracy, how long you take and where you lose marks.
