Question #3
If south-east becomes east, north-east becomes north, what will west become?
A. North-west
B. South
C. South-west
D. South-east

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Directions are rotated 45° clockwise: SE -> E, NE -> N, so west (270°) + 45° = 315° = NW? Wait, if SE (135°) becomes east (90°), it's actually -45° shift (anticlockwise). Let's check: SE to East is 45° anticlockwise. So west (270°) - 45° = 225° which is South-west. So answer South-west.
