Solution

The correct option is C South-east
Let us consider a Cartesian plane thinking positive X-axis as East;negative one as West;positive Y-axis as North;negative as South.Rahim moves along negative X direction 5 Km and then 2 Km parallel to Y axis.Later parallel to X axis 7 Km where he reaches fourth quadrant which is nothing but south east direction.
