The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will track Suresh's movements and determine his final position relative to his starting point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Starting Point**: Let's assume Suresh starts at point O (0, 0) on a coordinate plane. 2. **First Movement**: Suresh walks 20 meters North. - New position: O (0, 0) to A (0, 20). 3. **Second Movement**: He turns right (to the East) and walks 30 meters. - New position: A (0, 20) to B (30, 20). 4. **Third Movement**: He turns right again (to the South) and walks 35 meters. - New position: B (30, 20) to C (30, -15). - (20 - 35 = -15 on the y-axis) 5. **Fourth Movement**: He turns left (to the East) and walks 15 meters. - New position: C (30, -15) to D (45, -15). - (30 + 15 = 45 on the x-axis) 6. **Fifth Movement**: He turns left (to the North) and walks 15 meters. - New position: D (45, -15) to E (45, 0). - (-15 + 15 = 0 on the y-axis) 7. **Final Position**: Suresh's final position is E (45, 0). 8. **Distance from Original Position**: To find the distance from the original position O (0, 0) to E (45, 0), we can use the distance formula: - Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²] - Distance = √[(45 - 0)² + (0 - 0)²] = √[45²] = 45 meters. 9. **Direction**: Since the final position E (45, 0) is on the positive x-axis, Suresh is 45 meters to the East of his original position. ### Conclusion: Suresh is **45 meters East** from his original position.

To solve the problem step by step, we will track Suresh's movements and determine his final position relative to his starting point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Starting Point**: Let's assume Suresh starts at point O (0, 0) on a coordinate plane. 2. **First Movement**: Suresh walks 20 meters North. - New position: O (0, 0) to A (0, 20). ...
