1. Determine the initial direction both were facing by working backwards from Kelvin's final direction.

Kelvin turned 135∘135^\circ clockwise to face North.
Working backwards, the initial direction is 135∘135^\circ anti-clockwise from North.
135∘=3×45∘135^\circ = 3 \times 45^\circ, which is 3 compass points anti-clockwise from North.
North →\rightarrow North-West →\rightarrow West →\rightarrow South-West.
So, both Julian and Kelvin were initially facing South-West.

2. Determine Julian's final direction.

Julian was initially facing South-West.
He turned 45∘45^\circ anti-clockwise.
45∘45^\circ anti-clockwise from South-West is South.

Answer

South-West
