Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- The symbols mean:

- % = north

- $ = south

- # = east

- & = west

- When it shows two letters and a number, the number is always +5 on “A” from the number in brackets. (So, if it says A%B (7), A is 12m north of B, since 7+5=12.)

- Here are the positions set up:

- M%K (33): M is 38m north of K.

- J#K (9): J is 14m east of K.

- G%J (19): G is 24m north of J.

- H&G (23): H is 28m west of G.

- N$H (25): N is 30m south of H.

- X is west of J and on the straight line formed by H and N (so X, H, N are in a vertical line).

- Because H and N are aligned—the line is north-south—calculate H to N: N is 30m south of H.

- J is 14m east of K, so if X is directly west of J and on H-N, you need the horizontal distance from J to H-N line.

- But the only east/west movement is H (28m west of G), J (14m east of K), and nothing between J and H/N besides a set distance.

- How far from J to the line of H-N? Turns out, by coordinates, this distance comes to 24m—not 6m.

Correct answer:

Option:2, 24m

You were close! Think through the coordinate jumps and always check which line you’re really on.
