Competition practiceDirection Sense
  • A14 km, South
  • B10 km, North-West
  • C10 km, South-West
  • D2 km, West

Step-by-Step Solution

R is 6 km west and 8 km south of P, so the distance is the square root of 6 squared plus 8 squared, which is 10 km, and R lies to the south-west of P.
Answer: C) 10 km, South-West
