In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark.
South : North:: West :?

East

The answer is East.

The analogy is opposite direction. South is the opposite direction of North, and East is the opposite direction of West. The other options do not make sense in the context of the analogy.

• North does not make sense because it is the same direction as South.
• South-West and North-East are both directions that are between South and North, but they are not opposite directions.
