• 12 km south then 5km right means in west direction again he moves 15 km towards right means north direction then he moves 5 km east....In this 5km in both east &west directions will cancel with each other.Remaining is in north and south directions,as he moves 15km,12km in the respective directions.The distance (15-12)=3km will be the answer.

• 3kms, (15-12)km is where he is now,from his original position.

• let us assume that he travels downwards 12km and take 5km to right and again take 15km to right. now he was moving to upwards and again take 5km to right. now the difference is 15km-12km = 3km. so the answer is 3km
