From the information, we hear that he moved 12km West and 12km South. Since it is a straight movement and the distance are the same, it will form a right-angle triangle. And a right-angled triangle forms a angle of 90°.Due to the question structure when you draw it you'll see that the bearing will rub through half of the right-angled triangle. That is 90°/2 is 45°[C].

in such question,there is no meed for calculations as the angle formed is an isosceles triangle and a there is a right angle.

the bearing of T from Q should be 180+45 = 225
