Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Calculation:
South movements: 15 km + 5 km = 20 km south.
West and east movements: 10 km west + 10 km east = 0 km net (they cancel).
Conclusion: Since the net displacement is 20 km south and there is no net east-west displacement, Lokesh is directly south of his house.
Final answer: South
