Answer 1

According to me he is in North West

Answer 2

Answer:

Peter now is in north-west direction with respect to the starting point.

Explanation:

Given peter walks 5 miles towards west starting from the hospital.

Then he turns right and walks 2 more miles.

• If we are facing the west direction, then the direction to the right of us is the north direction.

So, peter walked 2 miles towards his right means he walked 2 miles towards the north direction.

Peter is going straight along the north direction,

Hence, with reference to the starting point he is nearly at the corner   between north and west direction which is the north-west direction.

So, peter now is in north-west direction with respect to the starting point.
