Pillar E is to the east of Pillar D. Pillar A is to the west of Pillar D. Pillar B is to the north of Pillar A. Pillar C is to the south of Pillar A. What is the position of Pillar C with respect to Pillar E?
South
South-West
North-West
North
South-West
Visualize a Cartesian plane: assign Pillar D to (0,0), then map coordinates for all others to find the relative vector from E to C.
Visualize a Cartesian plane: assign Pillar D to (0,0), then map coordinates for all others to find the relative vector from E to C.
Mapping the positions using coordinates
Let Pillar D be at (0, 0). Pillar E is to the east of D, so E = (+1, 0). Pillar A is to the west of D, so A = (-1, 0). Pillar B is north of A, so B = (-1, +1). Pillar C is south of A, so C = (-1, -1).
Calculating relative direction of C with respect to E
To find the direction of C (-1, -1) from E (+1, 0), look at the change in coordinates. The x-coordinate changes from +1 to -1 (West direction), and the y-coordinate changes from 0 to -1 (South direction).
Final Conclusion
Since both x and y movements are negative relative to E, the position of C relative to E is South-West.
A: South is incorrect because it ignores the westward shift. C: North-West is incorrect because C is south of the A-D line, not north. D: North is incorrect as it describes the position of B, not C.
B is correct because the coordinate calculation shows Pillar C is located at (-1, -1) while Pillar E is at (1, 0), placing C in the South-West direction from E.
Always draw a simple '+' compass cross and place entities relative to a fixed origin point to avoid confusing left/right or north/south movements.
