If west becomes south-east, what will north become?
A. North-east
B. South-west
C. South
D. North-west

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
West (270°) -> SE (135°) means 135° shift? Actually 270° to 135° is -135° or +225°. If -135° (ACW) shift, then north (0°) -135° = -135° = 225° (South-west). So South-west.
