I think this the explanation isn't clear enough, please elaborate.

ashish2023 · Answer

My understanding is :

If (A) - Fewer , then we would need (B) to be "Southeast" , but "Southeast" not in option.

If (A) - Strongest, then we would need (B) to be "North" or "Northwest" or "Northeast".

If (A) - Weakest, then we would need (B) to be "Northwest" and "North".

Only when (A) - Majority, we can surely say for (B) that "Northeast".

I don't agree with the explanation. The correct ans for this ques is : majority, northeast.
But mistakenly, the given ans is : majority, northwest.

I think this is a poor-quality question and the explanation isn't clear enough, please elaborate. If You're using contour plots pls make it colorless, so legends and EFs can be identified clearly.

Also Strongest, Northwest makes sense here.
