Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: None of these. P is in the south-west of Y.
Reasoning:
Place Z at (0,0).
X is north of Z, so X is at (0,1).
Y is east of X, so Y is at (1,1).
P is south of Z, so P is at (0,-1).
From Y (1,1) to P (0,-1) the displacement is (−1, −2): left (west) and down (south).
Therefore P lies to the south-west of Y, so none of the listed directions (north, south, south-east) match.
