Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0).
1. North 10\displaystyle 10 km (0,10)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 10).
2. South 6\displaystyle 6 km (0,4)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 4).
3. East 3\displaystyle 3 km (3,4)\displaystyle \rightarrow (3, 4).
Distance =32+42=5\displaystyle = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5 km. Direction is North-East.
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option A (5\displaystyle 5 km South-East), but the correct direction is North-East (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
