CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Right from west is north; right from north is east.

  2. 8 km west and 8 km east cancel, so Tenzin is 6 km north of the village.

  3. If Tenzin is north of the village, the village is south of Tenzin.

Worth noting

North is the direction of Tenzin from the village. The question asks the reverse: the village as seen from where he stands.
