Solution

The tourist starts by driving 10 km east. Then he turns right (which would be south if he was facing east) and drives 3 km. Then he turns right again (which would be west if he was facing south) and drives 3 km. This means he is now 7 km east of his starting point (10 km - 3 km). Then he turns left (which would be south if he was facing west) and drives 2 km. Finally, he turns right (which would be west if he was facing south) and drives 7 km. This means he is now exactly at his starting point (7 km east - 7 km west). Therefore, the correct answer is that he is 0 km from his starting point. However, this option is not given. The direction he would be facing is west. Therefore, none of the given options are correct.
