They are standing in the ground at a certain distance. No two persons secured the same rank.Note: The distance between two students is twice of the lowest rank among them. For example, if P is the first rank and Q is the second rank, the distance between them is 4m. X is to the west of A and is the immediate previous rank of D who is to the north of X. The number of persons ranked between D and W is an odd prime number where no one ranks after W who is to the east of D. E ranks exactly between D and W and is to the south of Y. C stands to the south of W and ranks before E. Z stands to the west of C and ranks after Y. The direction of Y from E is same as the direction of B from Z. B holds the immediate next rank to E and stands to the west of E. C neither holds the first rank nor before X. Y holds the rank after A but before E. Z holds the rank after B and is four ranks after C. Y is not secured the first rank.<\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Q. In which direction is C standing with respect to A?<\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">A.
