Sobha was facing East. She walked 20 metres. Then she moved to her left and walked 15 metres. And then turned to her right and moved 25 metres. Again, she turned right and moved 15 metres. How far is she from her starting point?

A) 25 metres       

B)   35 metres

C) 50 metres        

D)   45 metres

E) None of these

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

Explanation Option [d] is correct. Shobha turns left after walking 20 metre towards East. Now she walks 15 metre towards North. She turns right towards East again and walks 25 metre further. Finally turning right towards South, she walks 15 metre. The distance moved towards North and towards South is same, i.e., 15 metres. So, Shobha is \[20 + 25 metre = 45\] metre away from her starting point.
