Town X is to the north of Town Y. Town Z is to the west of Town Y. Town W is to the east of Town X. Town Z is to the north of Town V. What is the position of Town W with respect to Town Z?
North East
Place Town Y at the origin. Town X is due North of Y; Town Z is due West of Y; Town W is due East of Town X.
So Z is at the west and Y is in the middle; W is directly above Y (north) and to the east of Y (east of X which is north of Y). Relative to Z (which is west of Y), W is both to the north and to the east: North East of Z.
The correct answer is : North East.
