The person first travelled from A to B for 7 kms then travelled to C for 14kms and then to D for 7kms again.
The quadrilateral ABCD formed from this movement is a parallelogram and thus BC should be equal to AD i.e. 14 kms.
Now, he travelled from D to E(towards East) for 4kms. This means that the distance between starting point i.e. A and E is 14- 4 = 10 kms.
