CSouth East

DSouth West

Answer:

B. South

Read Explanation:

Let’s place the positions step by step.

  1. Ajit is east of Manu
    → Ajit is to the right of Manu.

  2. Ajit is north of Akshay
    → Ajit is above Akshay.

  3. Raju is south of Akshay
    → Raju is below Akshay.

Simple Diagram

        Raju

Since Ajit is above Akshay and Raju is below Akshay, Raju is directly south of Ajit.
