N=15,W=10,S=5,E=10.
NOTE:
OPP DIRECTIONS ARE:SUB(EX:N-S,E-W)
SAME DIRECTIONS ARE: ADD(EX:N+N,S+S).
In this highest value is the dist and direction.
E,W cancel e=10,w=10;e-w=10-10=0.
N,S n=15,s=5;n-s=15-5=10,north direction because north contains the high value compare to south.

While using compass N.E.W.S he stated from house 15 km to north. then 10 km left that is west then 5km left that is south then again10 km to the east.
This last 10 km is equal to 10 kms from north to west meaning thereby that he reached from where he had started.

The answer is North as the Q asks in which position he is relative to his starting point. NOT in which direction is he facing?
So, Aanyone, please make this in clear.
