`rmarkdown::render` pdf to another directory leads to 'Error: LaTeX failed to compile '

Question

I want to export the .pdf created using .Rmd. It works if I remove the rmarkdown::render chunk at the yaml header, but

---
title: "LHD_generation"
author: "hcghkgvjv"
date: "`r format(Sys.time(), '%d %B, %Y')`"
output:
    pdf_document:
        toc: yes
        toc_depth: 3
    html_notebook:
        toc: yes
        toc_depth: 3
        toc_float: yes
    html_document:
        theme: simplex
        highlight: kate
        fig_caption: yes
        fig_height: 4
        fig_width: 6
        toc: yes
        toc_float: yes
        toc_depth: 3
    # word_document:
    #     toc: yes
    #     toc_depth: 3
knit: (function(inputFile, encoding) {
    rmarkdown::render(inputFile, encoding = encoding, 
        output_file = paste0(dirname(inputFile), "/../Results", 
        '/LHD_generation.pdf'), output_format = "pdf_document")})
---

throws the following error when I include it. I also get LHD_generation.tex in the Results folder but then the process throws error & halts.

output file: LHD_generation.knit.md

Any ideas on how to make it work?

I came through the following links, but no avail.
