A. $${135^ \circ }$$
B. $${120^ \circ }$$
C. $${30^ \circ }$$
D. $${150^ \circ }$$  
Answer :   $${150^ \circ }$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & \delta = \left( {{{45}^ \circ } - {{30}^ \circ }} \right) + \left( {{{180}^ \circ } - {{60}^ \circ }} \right) + \left( {{{45}^ \circ } - {{30}^ \circ }} \right) \cr & = {150^ \circ }\,{\text{clockwise}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
