SSC Stenographer 2025 Question Paper (06-Aug-2025) Shift 2
The correct answer is

West

The problem is a directional reasoning question, which requires an understanding of cardinal and intercardinal directions. Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

  1. First, understand the given condition: South-East becomes North. This means that every direction we know has shifted. The direction that traditionally is South-East is now being called North.
  2. Visualizing this on a compass:
    • Originally, the compass directions are:
      • North
      • South
      • East
      • West
      • Intercardinal directions: North-East, South-East, South-West, North-West
    • If South-East is now considered North, then we need to rotate the entire compass anti-clockwise so that South-East points to the position of North.
  3. The next step is to determine what direction the traditional North-East points to after the shift.
    • Before the shift, North-East is 45 degrees clockwise from North.
    • After the shift (where South-East is North), 45 degrees clockwise from the new North (which is traditional South-East) would be the position of North-East originally, but now that becomes West.
  4. Therefore, when South-East is considered North, North-East will become West.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

West
