I think the answer is North-East. If you have to move 5km towards south(as specified), you have to be in the north right. And the difference towards the right to left (i.e, west to east) will end up in the east. So Northeast. A diagram is drawn imagining yourself can help.

Answer is South-West as the question clearly says, in which direction is he from the starting place. So look from point A. It is south-west not exact South guys!

@Mr.Sundar.

No angle is given, and also movement is done in 90 degree. So answer will be South.

The answer is right. Manu mohan explained right. Friends, draw the diagram and see the angle from D to A, or draw a dot dot line from D to A. Try and try, you will succeed.
