Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let Q=(0,0)\displaystyle Q = (0, 0). Decoding P%Q+RS\displaystyle P \% Q + R - S:
1. P%Q    P\displaystyle P \% Q \implies P is East of Q\displaystyle Q.
2. Q+R    Q\displaystyle Q + R \implies Q is North of R\displaystyle R (so R\displaystyle R is South of Q\displaystyle Q, i.e. R(0,yR)\displaystyle R(0, -y_R) with yR>0\displaystyle y_R > 0).
3. RS    R\displaystyle R - S \implies R is West of S\displaystyle S (so S\displaystyle S is East of R\displaystyle R, i.e. S(xS,yR)\displaystyle S(x_S, -y_R) with xS>0\displaystyle x_S > 0).
Since S\displaystyle S is at (xS,yR)\displaystyle (x_S, -y_R) with xS>0\displaystyle x_S > 0 and yR<0\displaystyle -y_R < 0, S\displaystyle S is South-East of Q\displaystyle Q.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
