Explanation:

- Let's plot the points step by step.

- Start with point R as a reference.

- Q is 4m east of R.

- P is 3m south of Q.

- This forms a right-angled triangle with R, Q, and P.

- S is 6m south of R.

- T is 8m west of S.

- U is 3m north of T.

- V is 7m west of U.

- Direction of U with respect to P: To find this direction, visualize or redraw on graph paper.

- As per the coordinates, U is to the west of P.

Therefore, the correct direction of U from P is:

Option: 3 - West
