A boy and a girl are facing each other. If the boy is standing at the north-west direction of the girl, in which direction is the girl to the boy?

A $North$
B $South$
C $East$
D $South-east$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Direction vectors are completely symmetric and diametrically opposite to each other. The boy is located at the North-West position relative to the girl's center. Therefore, when looking from the boy's viewpoint, the girl's direction will be the exact opposite of North-West. Opposite mappings: Opposite of North \to South Opposite of West \to East Thus, the exact opposite of North-West is South-East. The girl is in the South-East direction relative to the boy.
