(C) Let the school be at the origin $(0, 0)$.Since the post office is to the east of the school,its position is $(x, 0)$ where $x > 0$.Since my house is to the south of the school,its position is $(0, -y)$ where $y > 0$.The market is to the north of the post office,so its position is $(x, z)$ where $z > 0$.Given that the distance of the market from the post office is equal to the distance of my house from the school,we have $z = y$.Thus,the position of the market is $(x, y)$.Since both $x$ and $y$ are positive,the market is located in the first quadrant relative to the school,which corresponds to the North-east direction.
