Solution

The correct option is B L
The coordinates of the given point are (-5, 3). Here, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.
So, it will lie in the II quadrant.

We can also infer from the coordinates that the perpendicular distance of the point from the y-axis is 5 units and that from the x-axis is 3 units.

We see that point L lies in the II quadrant, and its perpendicular distance from the y-axis is 5 units and that from the x-axis is 3 units. So, the required point is L.
