To solve this problem, we can trace the man's movements step-by-step:
- Step 1: He travels 10 km West.
- Step 2: He turns left (South) and travels 4 km.
- Step 3: He travels another 4 km East. This cancels out 4 km of his westward movement, leaving a net westward displacement of 6 km.
- Step 4: He turns right (North) and travels 5 km.
- Step 5: He turns left (West) and travels 6 km. This cancels out his remaining westward displacement.
Therefore, his final position is 4 km South of his starting point.
We can visualize this using a simple diagram (although not provided in the question, it helps to conceptualize the movements): Imagine the starting point as the origin (0,0) on a coordinate plane. Each movement can be represented as a vector. After all movements are accounted for, you will find a net displacement of 0 along the x-axis (East-West) and 4 along the y-axis (South).
