Solution :
The correct answer is 125 m due south.
Let us break down the movement from house X to school Y step by step:

2. Next, crossing the subway involves traveling 100 m due east.
3. Finally, from the subway exit, moving 125 m due north reaches school Y.
To determine the relative location of house X with respect to school Y along the primary vertical directional line:
Since the initial movement from house X to reach the transverse path towards school Y was directed 125 m towards the south, house X is located 125 m due south relative to school Y.
