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..

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

In this question we ask that starting point direction mean D Point direction we see that is in this A, D point we connect to each other then we draw straight line long then see that the last point is S-W in present of the starting point.
