Q:

If A x B means A is to the south of B; A + B means A is to the north of B; A % B means A is to the east of B; A - B means A is to the west of B; then in P % Q + R - S, S is in which direction with respect to Q ?

 A) South-East B) North-West C) East D) West

Explanation:

P % Q + R - S
=> P is to the East of Q, who is to the North of R, who is to the West of S.
