No. The farther north you go, the greater your north latitude becomes. As you
can see, the 16 minutes is greater than the 4 minutes, so the first latitude in the
question is farther north than the second one.
North 21 degrees, 16 minutes and 20 seconds.

The starting point for measuring latitude is the equator... zero degrees. There are two terminal points of latitude: 90 degrees north (the true north pole, not the magnetic north pole), and; 90 degrees south (the true south pole, not the magnetic south pole). When measuring latitude the reference point is always the equator, and the numbers are given as (for example) North 40 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds... or in the real world of sailboats & ships: "North 40 decimal 16 decimal 13".
That's a spot in the French Polynesia neighborhood of the south Pacific Ocean, roughly 140 miles northwest of Papeete, Tahiti.
No. The norther you go, the greater your north latitude becomes. As you can see, the 16 minutes is greater than the 4 minutes, so the first latitude in the question is farther north than the second one.
The center of Canberra, Australia is at 35 degrees 16 minutes south, 149 degrees 07 minutes east.
There are five named lines of latitude. The Equator at zero degrees. The Tropic of Cancer at 23 degrees 26 minutes 16 seconds north latitude. This is the northernmost sub-point of the Sun on the northern hemisphere Summer Solstice. The Tropic of Capricorn at 23 degrees 26 minutes 16 seconds South latitude. The Arctic Circle at 66 degrees 33 degrees 44 minutes north. The Antarctic Circle at 66 degrees 33 minutes 44 seconds south. If you are especially observant, you will notice that 23 degrees 26 minutes 16 seconds PLUS 66 degrees 22 minutes 44 seconds equals precisely 90 degrees. When the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer in June, the Sun is precisely on the horizon on the Antarctic Circle. South of that, there is no sunlight.

What is n? North? Which will mean 10 North by 16 minutes and 50 seconds East. Or is it the longitudinal opposite you require? If you need the opposite of latitude then answer is South 1 degrees 16' 50" East.
