Direction-notation decoding: Find S's direction relative to Q from the symbolic expression. Notation: A × B ⇒ A is south of B; A + B ⇒ A is north of B; A % B ⇒ A is east of B; A − B ⇒ A is west of B. Expression: P % Q + R − S Task: Determine the direction of S with respect to Q.

Difficulty: Medium

South-West
South-East
North-East
North-West

Correct Answer: South-East

Explanation:

Decode each relation

P % Q ⇒ P is east of Q (not directly needed for S vs Q).
Q + R ⇒ Q is north of R ⇒ R is south of Q.
R − S ⇒ R is west of S ⇒ S is east of R.

Combine
R is south of Q and S is east of R ⇒ S lies south-east of Q.

Final Answer
South-East
