Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for Reasoning

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:
North (0°) -> 180° CW -> South (180°) -> 90° ACW -> East? Wait: South 180°, 90° ACW -> East (90°)? Actually 180° - 90° = 90°, which is East. But initial was north. Let's compute: Start: North (0°). +180° CW = 180° (South). Then -90° ACW = 90° (East). So East. Wait I said West earlier. I'll correct. The answer is East. Let me recalc: 0° + 180° = 180° (South). Then anticlockwise 90° subtract: 180° - 90° = 90° (East). So East. So correct answer is East. I'll set option A as East.

Get Complete Subject PDF for Reasoning

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.
