Question

The post office is in the East of the school while my house is in the South of the school. The market is in the North of the post office. If the distance of the market from the post office is equal to the distance of my house from the school, in which direction is the market with respect to my house?

• A. North
• B. East
• C. North-East
• D. South-West

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

North-East

Let us consider a Cartesian plane thinking positive $X-$axis as East; negative $X-$axis as West; positive $Y-$axis as North and negative $Y-$axis as South.
Let us consider school as the origin. So as per the given condition, Post-office lies on positive $X-$axis and the house lies on negative $X-$axis.
The market lies in first quadrant lying along the line of post office. Hence the market lies on North-East direction with respect to house.
