Question:

If North-East becomes North, South-East becomes East and so on, what will West become?

Options:

South-West

South-East

North-East

North-West

Correct Answer:

South-West

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → South-West

The change follows a 45° anticlockwise rotation:

  • North-East (45°)North (0°)
  • South-East (135°)East (90°)

So every direction shifts 45° anticlockwise.

West = 270°

$270° - 45° = 225°$

225° corresponds to South-West
