If A is 40 meter South-West of B, C is 40 meter South-East of B, then C is in which direction of A?

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the direction of C relative to A, we need to analyze the positions of A, B, and C based on the given information.

1. **Position of A and C relative to B:**
   - A is 40 meters South-West of B. This means A is positioned diagonally in the South-West direction from B.
   - C is 40 meters South-East of B. This means C is positioned diagonally in the South-East direction from B.

2. **Analyzing the direction of C from A:**
   - Since A is South-West of B and C is South-East of B, both A and C are at the same vertical level (South) relative to B. However, A is to the West of B, and C is to the East of B.
   - Therefore, when moving from A to C, you would move horizontally towards the East.

3. **Conclusion:**
   - C is directly East of A because moving from A to C involves moving horizontally in the East direction.

**Explanation of why other options are incorrect:**

- **Option 2 (West):** This is incorrect because moving from A to C involves moving towards the East, not the West.
- **Option 3 (North-East):** This is incorrect because both A and C are at the same vertical level (South) relative to B, so there is no Northward movement involved.
- **Option 4 (South):** This is incorrect because there is no additional Southward movement needed when moving from A to C; they are already aligned South of B.

Thus, the correct direction of C relative to A is East, which supports Option 1 as the correct answer.
