C is to the East of B, which is to the North of D. If A is to the South of D, then in which general direction of C is A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → South-West
Step-by-Step Mapping:
- B and D: The problem states "B is to the North of D." This means if we place D at a point, B is directly above it.
- C and B: "C is to the East of B." So, starting from B, we move to the right to place C.
- A and D: "A is to the South of D." This means A is directly below D.
Visualizing the Positions:
Imagine a grid:
- B is at the top left.
- C is to the right of B.
- D is below B.
- A is below D.
Conclusion:
Looking from C towards A:
- You have to look down (which is South).
- You have to look to the left (which is West).
Therefore, A is in the South-West direction of C.
