Concept:Trace each step using directions, then compare total East-West and North-South movement to find the direction from the final point back to the start.Explanation:Vinay starts at point $A$ and walks $7\,\text{m}$ towards the South.He turns left, now facing East, and walks $8\,\text{m}$.He turns left, now facing North, and walks $4\,\text{m}$.He turns left, now facing West, and walks $2\,\text{m}$.He turns right, now facing North, and walks $3\,\text{m}$.He turns left, now facing West, and walks $2\,\text{m}$ to reach point $B$.Now compare the East-West movements: East total = $8\,\text{m}$; West total = $2\,\text{m} + 2\,\text{m} = 4\,\text{m}$. Net East movement = $8 - 4 = 4\,\text{m}$.Compare North-South movements: South total = $7\,\text{m}$; North total = $4\,\text{m} + 3\,\text{m} = 7\,\text{m}$. Net North-South movement = $0$.So point $B$ lies $4\,\text{m}$ to the East of point $A$.To return to point $A$, Vinay must walk towards the West.Answer:WestCorrect option: A. West
