Based on information given direction diagram can be traced as,

(image)

Let both X and Y start from point S.

X travels 17 m west and reaches T, then takes right turn and reaches point U by travelling 13 m.

Similarly, Y travels north for 9 m and reaches R, then turns east for 7 m and finally stops at point P.

Thus, UP = 17 + 7 = 24 m

∴ Y is 24 m to the east of X.
