Answer:
(b)
In this type of question, the direction changes are given and one must track the changes accordingly. Initially, South-East becomes North. This shows a shift towards left of the compass. Hence all other directions will shift similarly to the left side. Option 1 – North: The South will not become North as it was not mentioned in the question. Option 2 – North-East: This seems to be the correct answer. Analyzing from the initial given change, south-east becomes north, similarly, south will become North-East as per the direction shift. Option 3 – North-West: The South will not become North-west as the given direction change doesn`t indicate such change. Option 4 – West: Again, South will not become West as per the given directional change. So, the correct answer is North-East (option 2) as south has been shifted towards left based on the information provided.
