Explanation:

- Let's place G 10 km north of E.

- F is located 2 km east of E.

- J is situated 10 km south of I.

- L is 2 km west of M.

- K is 4 km east of E, on a line with E and F.

- H is 7 km west of F, aligning with E (since 7 - 2 = 5 km).

- I is 12 km south of G, placing it directly below G.

- L is 12 km south of F, which means it's straight down from F.

- N is 5 km north of F, placing it directly above F.

Now, calculate the distance from L to N:

- L is 12 km south of F, and N is 5 km north of F.

- It forms a straight vertical line from L to N totaling 12 + 5 = 17 km.

- Since L is south of F and N is north, N is directly north of L.

Thus, N is North, 17 km away from L.
