The answer is right. Because according to man., right means our left. As he travelled towards the south. So the answer is SOUTH WEST.

Draw a simple graph and imagine starting point is a mid-point of a graph and draw it. Like (south, west, north, east) and then draw a line final point to mid point and you will get the answer (south-west).

Thank you.

Consider A & B line as north to south line, Point D is on the right side of Point B (which is south) when you see diagram of direction then you find WEST is comes to go from south in the right side direction.

South-West answer is exactly correct because in question asking in which direction he is from Starting point.

Answer is correct guys.

When you turn left or right. Turn by 90degree when the angle is not given.

By applying this and by following the instruction the man will be in 3rd coordinate which is south-west.

To make it easy first draw the N-S & E-W DIRECTIONS and follow the instruction from the center point.
