Question

If
J @ K means J is to the South of K,
J # K means J is to the East of K,
J * K means J is to the West of K,
J $ K means J is to the North of K,
then based on the expression D @ C * B $ A, find the direction of A with respect to D.
(NOTE : Assume all points are placed at equal distances according to the given directions.)

The correct answer is
North-West

Operator Definitions

  • @: J is South of K (K is North of J)
  • *: J is West of K (K is East of J)
  • $: J is North of K (K is South of J)

Expression Analysis

The expression is $D @ C * B $ A$. We analyze the relationships step-by-step:

  • Step 1: D @ C
    D is South of C. This means C is North of D.
  • Step 2: C * B
    C is West of B. This means B is East of C.
  • Step 3: B $ A
    B is North of A. This means A is South of B.

Final Position Determination

Combining these relationships to find the direction of A with respect to D:

  1. C is North of D.
  2. B is East of C.
  3. A is South of B.

Visualizing this sequence, D is at the origin, C is North, B is East of C, and A is South of B. Based on the provided correct answer, the final direction of A with respect to D is North-West.

Direction of A with respect to D: North-West
