Solving this chemistry is a little bit hard because the question didn't give some important detailed.

So first, there are a couple problems with your question.

We will just need to know which direction will it proceed to reach equilibrium.

Your expression for Kc (and Qc) for the reaction should be:

Kc = [C] / [A] [B]^2

You have not provided a value for Kc, so a value of Qc tells you absolutely nothing. Qc is only valuable in relation to a numerical value for Kc. If Qc = Kc, then the reaction is at equilibrium. If Q Kc, the reaction will form more reactants.
