Also, Q is to the West of P.

∴ Q is 10 m West of P.

The movements of Kishankant are as shown in Fig. (A to B, B to C and C to D).

AC = (AB-BC) =(10–6) km = 4 km

Kishankant's distance from starting point A

= AD = $√{AC^2 + CD^2}$ = $√{4^2 + 3^2}$ = $√{25}$ = 5 km

So Kishankant is 5 km to the North-east of his starting point.
