Correct Answer: South-EastYour Answer: A

Explanation

Step 1: Fix Office at (0,0). | Step 2: Translate the three relations successively; School reaches (8,-9). | Step 3: Relative to Office, this coordinate lies South-East. | Answer: Option A — South-East.

Important Notes

  • Draw a north arrow before solving and take East as positive x, West as negative x, North as positive y, and South as negative y. |
  • Apply every turn from the person's current facing direction. A right turn changes direction clockwise; a left turn changes it anticlockwise. |
  • Combine opposite movements before calculating distance: cancel East with West and North with South. |
  • Decide the final direction from the signs of the remaining horizontal and vertical displacements. For example, positive x and negative y indicate South-East. |
