@All.

What is the right side of the x?

West-X-East.

So, Y is in the northeast of X then,
P is in the south-west of y i.e. P is in the south and left of Y is west i.e., West-Y-East.

So the answer is South-West.

Y is in the East of X" which is in the North of Z". If P is in the South of Z, then in which direction of Y, is P?

"which is in the North of Z " is with respect to Y.

Y is east of x which is north of z. Means x position will be west of Y and north of z. After he said p position will be south of z.

There will be created a right-angle triangle.

Hey guys !

Have Y as position if Y is in east position then X is in west position pointing that we conclude that P is in the middle of south west.

Y is in the east of X.

And also X is in the north of Z.

And P is in the south if Z so, P is in the southwest direction with respect to Y.
