South is the right answer. The question is asking from which direction, not to which direction.

Based on the information provided, you started your journey from the West direction. Here's the step-by-step explanation:
You walked 6 km in an unknown direction.
Then, you turned right (which is a 90-degree clockwise rotation) from your current direction.
You walked 2 km in this new direction, which means you covered a total of 8 km from your starting point (6 km + 2 km).
Next, you turned left (which is a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation) from your current direction. You walked 10 km in this new direction.
In the end, you were moving towards the North direction.
Based on the above information, you started your journey from the West direction, as you turned right initially and then turned left, which would align you towards the North direction from the West direction.

North is right. If the south is answer then the question should be 'the direction with respect to the ending point '.

According to me, North is the right because they have not mentioned where to start.

I think the answer is North. North is in an upward direction.

Don't consider the starting point as a centre.
As he finally reaches to the north so he started from the south as it is completely opposite and it is not asked the reference to starting point so south-west can't be the answer.
