Question

In a certain map, the southeast is wrongly marked as the north. As per the map, there is a school 100 m to the east of a temple and 100 m to the south of the temple is a playground. So, in reality, in which direction is the playground with respect to the school?

• A. North
• B. North-east
• C. South-west
• D. West

Hint:

When dealing with mismarked maps, adjust the directions to find the correct relationships between locations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyzing the wrong directions on the map.
The map incorrectly marks southeast as the north direction. To correct this, we need to adjust the map: - The school is 100 m east of the temple. - The playground is 100 m south of the temple.
Step 2: Correcting the directions.
- East of the temple corresponds to the correct east direction on the real map. - South of the temple corresponds to the real south direction. Since the map has wrongly marked southeast as north, the real direction of the playground relative to the school will be South-west.
\[ \boxed{(C) \, \text{South-west}} \]
