Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let Q=(0,0)\displaystyle Q = (0, 0).
1. P is 10\displaystyle 10 m East of Q P(10,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow P(10, 0).
2. R is 4\displaystyle 4 m North of P R(10,4)\displaystyle \rightarrow R(10, 4).
3. S is 5\displaystyle 5 m South of Q S(0,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow S(0, -5).
4. T is 3\displaystyle 3 m West of S T(3,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow T(-3, -5).
Displacement vector TR=RT=(10(3),4(5))=(13,9)\displaystyle \vec{TR} = R - T = (10 - (-3), 4 - (-5)) = (13, 9), which is North-East.
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option D (South-West), but the correct direction is North-East (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
