Seating/position (3 rows, all facing North): Find Q's direction with respect to R. Layout rules: A is in the middle row; P sits immediately to A's right in the same row; Q is just behind P; R is to the north of A. Question: In which direction is Q from R?

Given data

• Everyone faces North
• A in middle row; P is immediately right of A (east of A)
• Q is just behind P (one row south of P)
• R is in the row north of A (aligned with A)

Concept/ApproachPlace A at grid (0,0). Facing North ⇒ right = East.

Step-by-step coordinatesA = (0,0); P = (0,+1)Q (behind P) = (−1,+1)R (north of A) = (+1,0)Vector R → Q = (−2, +1) ⇒ South-East from R.

Final AnswerSouth-East
