Arrow Rotation
Arrow Rotation problems feature arrows that rotate by a fixed angle at each step. The arrow may rotate clockwise or anticlockwise, with common step angles of 45°, 90°, or 180°. You must determine the direction of the next arrow based on the rotation pattern.

Introduction to Arrow Rotation
Arrow Rotation problems feature arrows that rotate by a fixed angle at each step. The arrow may rotate clockwise or anticlockwise, with common step angles of 45°, 90°, or 180°. You must determine the direction of the next arrow based on the rotation pattern.
Prerequisites
How to Solve Arrow Rotation Problems
Step 1: Identify the direction of each arrow (up, right, down, left, or diagonal)
Step 2: Calculate the rotation angle between consecutive arrows
Step 3: Determine if rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise
Step 4: Verify the rotation step is constant
Step 5: Apply the same rotation to the last arrow's direction
Step 6: For 90° rotations: up→right→down→left→up
Step 7: Select the arrow pointing in the new direction
Example Problem
Example: Arrow directions: up, right, down, left, ___. What is next? Solution: Step 1: Directions: up, right, down, left Step 2: Rotation = 90° clockwise each step Step 3: Last direction = left Step 4: Next direction = up (after 90° clockwise) Answer: Arrow pointing up
