Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

North-west

Solution :

The correct option is North-west.

Let us determine the positions of the delivery agents step-by-step based on the given directions:

1. Positions of S, T, and V:
- S is 14m west of T, and T is 10m west of V.
- The total distance between S and V is calculated as:

Distance between S and V=14+10=24 m

2. Position of R:
- We are given that the distance between V and S is twice the distance between R and S:
- Therefore, the distance between R and S is:

Distance between R and S=242=12 m

- R is east of S. Since S is 14m west of T, placing R 12m east of S means R is 2m west of T.

3. Position of U:
- U is 16m north of R.
- Since R is 2m west of T, U is located 2m west and 16m north of T.

4. Direction of U with respect to T:
- From T's position, U is 2m to the West and 16m to the North.
- Therefore, U is in the North-west direction with respect to T.
