In a compass every direction is rotated to degrees from the original direction. In which direction will South-West be if the rotation took towards clockwise direction?

  1. A
    North-West
  2. B
    North-East
  3. C
    East
  4. D
    North

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's represent standard directions by their angular positions from North () moving clockwise:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

Given that every direction is rotated in the clockwise direction:
We add to the original angle of South-West ():



An angular position of corresponds exactly to North. Thus, the South-West direction will point to the North.
