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.

Guys. I need answer for this question. Actually the direction comes as west but it showing answer as north.

Siva starting from his house, goes 5 km in the East, then he turns to his left and goes 4 km. Finally he turns to his left and goes 5 km. Now how far is he from his house and in what direction?

Please help me.

As per my understanding the answer should be south-west.

Meenakshi said:   9 years ago
Yeah, the answer is south-west.

It's clear from the followed diagram because in this question it is been clear that they ask in which direction of y is p so they clearly ask the position of p with respect to y is South west.

Actually, they have asked from Y to P so we consider direction from Y To P and it's South west.
