Explanation:

[tex]V_A= -v_1j[/tex] ( in the south direction)

[tex]V_B= -v_2i[/tex] (in the west direction)

[tex]V_{AB}= -V_B-V_A[/tex]

[tex]= -v_2i-(-v_1j)[/tex]

so direction of v_1 and v_2 are  north and west respectively.

we used the formula for relative velocity

[tex]V_{AB}= V_B- V_A[/tex]

is the velocity of B with respect to A.
