Answer 1

Answer

2km west

Explanation

the eq will be like

-10km+4km+8km=2km

that is for distance and

he turned 4km west after traveling 12km north and then toward east 8km and then moves south 8km thus

only 8 and 4 will be used so it is 12km towards south as he moved 12 km north so it will cancel each other and direction will be found as

10km west-8km east=2km west
