Directions: Study the given information carefully and answer the question that follows.
Point Q is 12m east of Point P. Point R is 18m north of Point Q. Point S is 8m west of Point R. Point T is 10m south of Point S.
In which direction is Point S with respect to Point Q?
Correct Answer :
North-West
Solution :
The correct answer is North-West.
Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to find the position of Point S relative to Point Q:
1. Position of Point R relative to Point Q:
Point R is 18m to the North of Point Q.
2. Position of Point S relative to Point R:
Point S is 8m to the West of Point R.
Now, combining these steps from Point Q:
- Moving from Point Q to Point R takes us 18m to the North.
- Moving from Point R to Point S takes us 8m to the West.
So, starting from Point Q, Point S is located in a direction that is both North and West.
Therefore, Point S is in the North-West direction with respect to Point Q.
