Dear Friends.
As per this problem, we all are getting, the answer is south-east. But the answer is South-West.
I tried so many times, then I have been getting the same answer, i.e. South-East.
I am not able to understand the logic in this problem.
If there is any logic to resolve this problem. Please explain about this problem.

The correct answer is south-east, because the given answer shows that y is in the west of x. So the answer is south west but the actual question is y is in the east of x. So the diagram gets interchanged.
Y (EAST)--------X (WEST).
:
Z.
:
P (SOUTH).
So the answer is south-east.
Y (EAST)--------X (WEST).
:
Z.
:
P (SOUTH).
So the answer is south-east.

No its on south- west. I will explain.
1) First take the last one (in this problem, Y is in the East of X which is in the North of Z). So first fix 'Z' then 'X' Then 'Y'.
2) Then P is in the South of Z.
3) They ask with respect to Y.
So the answer will be south west.
