Given:

Devansh starts from point A and drives 10 km towards the North.

He takes two simultaneous right turns and drives 3 km and 6 km, respectively.

He takes a final right turn and drives 3 km to reach point B. 

Thus, Devansh should drive (10 km + 6 km) 4 km in the south direction in order to reach Point A again.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
