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?
- ANorth-West
- BNorth-East
- CEast
- DNorth
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.
