Point P is 10 km East of point Q. Point R is 8 km North of point P. Point S is 10 km West of point R. Point T is 5 km South of point S. In which direction is point T with respect to point Q?
Correct: A
Let Point Q be the origin (0,0).
1. Point P is 10 km East of Q: P = (10, 0).
2. Point R is 8 km North of P: R = (10, 0+8) = (10, 8).
3. Point S is 10 km West of R: S = (10-10, 8) = (0, 8).
4. Point T is 5 km South of S: T = (0, 8-5) = (0, 3).
The final position of T is (0, 3) relative to Q (0,0).
Since the x-coordinate is 0 and the y-coordinate is positive (3), point T is directly North of point Q.
Therefore, point T is in the North direction with respect to point Q.
