  2. West, 30m
  3. North,45m
  4. South,45m

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: North,45m

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: C) North, 45m 📚 Explanation: Step 1: Map out the houses on a coordinate grid starting from a fixed reference point. Z is 45m South of P, and Q is 30m West of Z. Step 2: Place the remaining houses based on the coordinates given. M is 50m North of P, and H is 30m West of M. Since J is 50m South of H, it aligns vertically with Q. Step 3: Measure the distance and direction from Q to J. The calculations show that J's house is located exactly 45m straight North of Q's house.
