If South-East becomes North and North-East becomes West and all the rest directions are changed in the same manner, what will be the direction for South-East?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → North
When every direction is “changed in the same manner”, the whole compass is turned through the same angle. The two given changes fix that angle:
South-East to North: from SE, going anticlockwise through E and NE to N is \(3\times45^\circ=135^\circ\) anticlockwise
North-East to West: from NE, going anticlockwise through N and NW to W is also \(135^\circ\) anticlockwise, so the rule is consistent
The question asks again for South-East, and the first given change already says that South-East becomes North.
