School location relative to house: Ram: 10 m South, left (East) 25 m, left (North) 40 m, right (East) 5 m to school. In which direction is the school from his house?

Introduction / Context:
Aggregate components to determine the quadrant of the final point relative to the start.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Vertical: −10 + 40 = +30 m North.
• Horizontal: +25 + 5 = +30 m East.

Concept / Approach:
Final vector (East 30, North 30) ⇒ school lies to the North-East.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Equal positive components produce a 45° NE direction.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
East ignores the North component; North ignores the East component; South-West is opposite.

Common Pitfalls:
Mistaking the last right as turning to South.

Final Answer:
North-East
