UPSC 2010: In a meeting, the map of a village was placed in such a manner that south-east becomes north, north-east becomes west and so on. What will south become?
(a)North
(b)North-east
(c)North-west
(d)West
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) North-east
To make original south-east point to north, the map is rotated 135° clockwise. After the same rotation, the original south (180°) shifts to 45°, i.e., north-east. Hence option (b) is correct; north-west or west would arise from incorrect rotation direction. ([iasexamportal.com](https://iasexamportal.com/Answer-Key/General-Studies-Solution-CSP-2010))
