If North-East becomes North, South-East becomes East and so on, what will West become?
If North-East becomes North, South-East becomes East and so on, what will West become?
Solution
Consider the standard compass directions measured clockwise from North:
North = 0°
North-East = 45°
East = 90°
South-East = 135°
South = 180°
South-West = 225°
West = 270°
North-West = 315°
Analyzing the given transformations:
North-East (45°) becomes North (0°)
Change:
South-East (135°) becomes East (90°)
Change:
The pattern shows a rotation of 45° counter-clockwise (subtracting 45° from each direction).
Applying this transformation to West:
West is at 270°
After the transformation:
The direction at 225° is South-West.
Therefore, West becomes South-West.
The answer is Option 1.
