This explanation may help you better.
Assume that you are standing at point A and looks towards point D. It will make you to look at D at an angle approximately 35 degree from south toward west, i.e. South-West. We either use north or South for their respective direction as first word, As in this case it is to South.
Hence the answer is correct.

Imagine that the man is facing south. He walks 5 km forward & turns right, means west. After 3km straight he turns left, means south & walks 5km. Imagine this & draw it. Remember that in every problems like this, we must assume that the man is facing the direction which he is moving first. In the above figure, the line AB is pointing south, BC--> west & CD again south. So the point D is SW of A.

We can write as S5WS3E5 i wrote the data that is given in question
Now same directions will get cancel i.e.,south and remaining will be south west so the answer is south west
this is short cut..

Direction of movement remains south as he is moving parallel to his direction of movement of 5 kms south had he turned at 45 deg angle after turning left he would have walked south west so Sundar you are wrong and Sridhar is correct the answer is B

Yes, it seems incorrect. because there is no indication of any angle. So how it will be south-west. It should be South. So the correct answer should be B.
