Solution

The correct option is D East
Mohan starting from point A and covers 7 km.
Then turn left and covers 10 km, again turn left and cover 6 km and then at last turn left and cover 10 km.
So, from the figure, we can say that he is on the same line where he started from and 1 km far.
Hence, he is towards East from the starting point.
