About this MCQ
This Hard Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “If north-west becomes south and south-west becomes east under a certain rotation, what does north become?”
The accepted answer is A. South-West. “If north-west becomes south and south-west becomes east under a certain rotation, what does north become” is answered by South-West (option A). Option B (“North-East”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of South-West. Option C (“South”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of South-West. Remaining alternatives (West) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once South-West is identified. Analytical Reasoning questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Analytical Reasoning recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
