Answer options

  1. South-East
  2. North-East
  3. North
  4. North-West

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: South-East

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: A. South-East 📚 Explanation: Mapping the movements: 5 km West, 3 km South (left turn), and 7 km East (left turn). He is now 2 km East of his original West-East line and 3 km South of the starting point. Because he is to the East and South of point X, his current direction from the start is 'South-East'. Drawing this path on a compass grid makes the final relative position clear.
