Good question. Is there any clear and quick answer for the question so far? Funny is that English has evolved in history. Can we change something without altering its meaning? Often changes can be understood, but it was obvious of course you were non native. Yet, your example is not like that. I would use “towards” because I think it flows better, but none of the three prepositions you chose would be inappropriate.
I would add “towards” and “towards” as one of my three prepositions.
Number 1 is valid but unusual, and 2 would not normally be used in British English. Number 3 is perfectly fine but wouldn’t be commonly used. What the most commonly-used formation would
be: He took a relaxed approach to solving the problem.
What should I do if I really need my answers?
