Three friends—P, Q and R are living in the same locality. The house of Q is to the east of P's house, and R'shouse is to the south of P's house. What is the direction of R's house with respect to Q's house?

Correct option is D

(D) South west.

Sol. Let’s visualize the problem step by step:

• Q’s house is to the east of P’s house.
• R’s house is to the south of P’s house.

Now, we need to find the direction of R's house with respect to Q's house.

• If Q is to the east of P and R is to the south of P, then R will be to the south west of Q’s house.

Thus, the correct answer is South west (D).
