A lady stands on the road facing the East direction. She turns 48 degrees in clockwise direction and 72 degrees in anti-clockwise direction. Which direction is she facing now?

Let's re-evaluate the problem step by step and verify the correct direction.

1. Starting Position: East (0 degrees).

2. First Turn (Clockwise 48 degrees):

   • From East (0 degrees), moving clockwise 48 degrees.
     • East (0 degrees) + 48 degrees = 48 degrees.
   • 48 degrees is between East (0 degrees) and South-East (90 degrees).

3. Second Turn (Anti-clockwise 72 degrees):

   • From the new position (48 degrees), turning 72 degrees anti-clockwise:

     • 48 degrees - 72 degrees = -24 degrees.

   • Since -24 degrees can be re-expressed in a 360-degree system:

     -24 degrees + 360 degrees = 336 degrees.

   • 336 degrees is equivalent to 360 - 336 = 24 degrees in the clockwise direction from North.

Evaluating:

• North is 0 degrees.
• East is 90 degrees.
• 24 degrees clockwise from North falls between North and East.

Hence, the final direction is:

Correct Answer: North-East
