He is (3) 17 km east from his home...
This is because if he travels 12 km N and then, turns right, he faces E and then he walks 12 km facing E only. Then, he turns right again to face S and walks 12 km in that direction. Now, he is on the line he started but, away from the starting point. Now, he turns left so, he is facing E. He travels 5 more km. Thus, (12+5), 17 km East is his current distance from home
