Draw a simple CDI with a Selected Course of 270 at the top (which places 090 at the bottom)
Imagine the centre dot of the CDI represents the VOR.
If the CDI displays a TO flag your aircraft would be travelling to the VOR and would therefore be at the bottom of the CDI on or close to the 090 radial, to the east of the VOR.
If the CDI displays a FROM flag your aircraft is travelling from the VOR and is therefore at the top of the CDI on or near the 270 Radial, to the west of the VOR. In this question, this is the case.
However, the CDI needle represents the actual radial which is to the left of your imagined aircraft's position. This places the aircraft to the right (or north) of the VOR.
The aircraft is north and west of the 270 radial, i.e. in the north west sector.
