If North becomes South-East, What will be East become?

ASouth West

BNorth East

CNorth West

DSouth East

Answer:

A. South West

Read Explanation:

  • This question involves understanding direction-based logic.
  • Cardinal Directions: The primary directions are North, South, East, and West.
  • Intercardinal Directions: These are Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest, located between the cardinal directions.
  • If North becomes South-East, it means all directions are shifted by 135 degrees clockwise.
  • East will become South-West by applying the same 135 degrees clockwise rotation.
  • Clockwise Direction: Moving in the same direction as the rotating hands of a clock.
  • Anti-Clockwise Direction: Moving in the opposite direction to the rotating hands of a clock.
  • Understanding the relationship between cardinal and intercardinal directions is crucial for solving such problems quickly.
  • Practice with different directional shift scenarios to improve speed and accuracy.
