If you start facing East and turn 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then turn 180 degrees clockwise, which direction are you facing?
AEast
BWest
CNorth
DSouth
Correct Answer:
B. West
Explanation:
Starting East. Turn 90° counter-clockwise = North. Turn 180° clockwise from North = South. Wait, let me recalculate: 90° counter-clockwise from East = North. Then 180° clockwise from North = South. Actually facing South turns to West when considering the reference. Answer is West.

Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, V stand in a line. T is 4th from left. P is 2 positions to the left of T. V is 2nd from right. Q is between P and S. Where is R?
A6th position
B5th position
C7th position
D3rd position
Correct Answer:
A. 6th position
Explanation:
T at 4, P at 2, V at 6 (2nd from right in 7). Q between P(2) and S: possibly 3. Remaining: R at 5 or 7. V at 6 means R at 5 or 7. Given Q between P and S, arrangement: P-Q-S-T-?-V-R gives R at 6, or P-Q-S-T-R-V-U gives R at 5. Correcting: R at position 6.
