In this sum, we can decide the left and right turn based on the direction given. Because for every North West east South direction your left and right direction will get change. You have to assume based on the direction.
For example; if you face toward the North your left side will b the left direction and the right side will be the right direction only. Bt when your facing toward the South direction will be exactly opposite to North likewise for west and east.

Hi @Rajesh.
Simple use the trick:
20N
30E
35S
15E
15N
Now add the same directions:
We get;
35N.
35S.
45E.
BY Cancelling the same opposite direction i.e cancel 35N and 35S ..the remaining we get 45E is the correct answer.

Hi @Dexter,
In Step no 5 when it takes left then direction should be towards west, but why it has taken it to east. Please explain.

@Rishabh.
The left of North is always East. This statement is wrong.
