Zeeshan has a faulty compass which shows North as South-West, East as North-West and so on. If Zeeshan wants to actually find the South-East direction on his compass, then he should check which direction on his compass so that he gets to determine the South-East direction correctly?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → West
Following direction chart is used for assessing the direction:
Given:
- Compass North = Actual South-West
- Compass East = Actual North-West
This shows the compass directions are consistently shifted.
Using the mapping:
- Actual direction = (Compass direction + 225°)
Now, actual South-East = 135°
So, find the compass direction:
$\text{Compass direction} = 135° - 225° = -90° = 270°$
270° corresponds to West on the compass.
