Directions: Read the following information and give answer.The post office is to the east of the school while my house is to the south of the school. The market is to 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 school?
Correct answer: C. North-east
- A. North
- B. East
- C. North-east
- D. South-west
Explanation
To solve this problem, visualize the relative positions: the post office is east of the school, and the market is north of the post office. Therefore, the market is northeast of the school. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the market's position relative to both the school and the post office. The market is not directly north, east, or southwest of the school.
