The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to visualize the positions of A, B, and C based on the given directions. ### Step 1: Understand the positions of A and C with respect to B - We know that A is to the south of B. This means if we place B at a point, A will be directly below B. - We also know that C is to the east of B. This means if we place B at a point, C will be directly to the right of B. ### Step 2: Visualize the positions - Let's assume B is at the center of a coordinate system (0,0). - If B is at (0,0), then A, being south of B, will be at (0,-1) (one unit down). - C, being east of B, will be at (1,0) (one unit to the right). ### Step 3: Determine the direction of A with respect to C - Now we need to find the direction of A (0,-1) with respect to C (1,0). - To do this, we can visualize or calculate the relative position of A from C. - From C (1,0) to A (0,-1), we can see that we move one unit left (to the west) and one unit down (to the south). ### Step 4: Identify the resultant direction - Moving one unit left (west) and one unit down (south) from C leads us to the south-west direction. ### Conclusion - Therefore, A is in the south-west direction with respect to C. ### Final Answer - A is in the south-west direction with respect to C. ---
