Question:

If North-East becomes North and North-West becomes the West. What will the East become ?

Options:

South-East

South-West

North-East

North-West

Correct Answer:

North-East

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3:North-East

Following direction chart is used for assessing the direction:

 

  • North-East becomes North⇒ every direction shifts 45° counter-clockwise.
  • North-West becomes West ⇒ this again confirms the same 45° counter-clockwise rotation.

Now applying the same shift to East:

  • East lies at 90°.
  • Rotating 45° counter-clockwise brings it to 45°.
  • 45° corresponds to North-East.

Therefore, East becomes North-East.
