• D. 5 meter towards west

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 15 meter towards east

Babu is 15 meters East from his starting point.

Step-by-Step Path Analysis

• Start: Point $(0, 0)$.

• Move 1 (North): Walks 20 meters North to reach $(0, 20)$.

• Move 2 (Right/East): Turns right, walks 10 meters East to reach $(10, 20)$.

• Move 3 (Right/South): Turns right, walks 20 meters South to reach $(10, 0)$.

• Move 4 (Left/East): Turns left while facing South, walking 5 meters East to reach $(15, 0)$.

Final Calculation

• Total Eastward Distance: $10\text{ meters} + 5\text{ meters} = 15\text{ meters}$.

• Total Northward Distance: $20\text{ meters} - 20\text{ meters} = 0\text{ meters}$.
