Answer 1

Answer: (A)

South-West

Answer 2

Starting direction: You are facing, west.
$\rightarrow$ First turn: You turn 45° clockwise.
$\rightarrow$ From west, a 45° clockwise turn puts you in the northwest direction.
$\rightarrow$ Second turn: You turn 180° clockwise.
$\rightarrow$ From northwest, a 180° clockwise turn will bring you to the southeast direction.
$\rightarrow$ Third turn: You turn 270° anticlockwise.
$\rightarrow$ From southeast, a 270° anticlockwise turn will take you to the southwest direction.

Therefore, after all the turns, you are facing southwest
