If west becomes south-east, what will north become? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

If west becomes south-east, what will north become?
A. South-west
B. North-east
C. South
D. North-west
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.
