The answer is southwest because the twist is :) first, we need to find out the starting position so he started from north and headed towards south so after the entire scenario he will reach sooth again and if we trace the middle direction from the starting point to the ending point with the rough diagram we will get the answer as South West (SW).

The question state, "Which direction is he from the starting place" so, the correct answer South-West.

@All.
If we draw an inclined line joining point A and D, you can observe the southwest direction.

I think the correct answer is south because Right-left will cancel and man is at the same place.
i.e south.

Answer south-west is correct because if we completely draw the directions as per the question then we will see the answer clearly.
