About this MCQ
This Hard Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The accepted answer is B. North-East. “If south-east becomes north and north-east becomes west under a certain rotation, what does south become” is answered by North-East (option B). Option A (“North”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of North-East. Option C (“North-West”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of North-East. Remaining alternatives (South-West) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once North-East is identified.
