- Aeast-north direction
- Correct answerBwest-north direction
- Csouth-east direction
- DNone of the above
Solution
Let $O$ be the origin, then
passenger in the train at $P$ observes the car at $Q$ along direction $P Q$, where direction $P Q$ is west north direction.
passenger in the train at $P$ observes the car at $Q$ along direction $P Q$, where direction $P Q$ is west north direction.Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
