Solution

The correct option is B North-East
Early morning suns rise at east, if his shadow falls exactly behind him that means he is facing towards east. Now he walks 5mt towards east, then he turns left that means he facing towards north and walk 3mt and if he turn left then he is facing towards west and he walk only 3 kms thats why man is in north east direction from starting point.
