EOption (e)
√265m, South West

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

E.

√265m, South West

Why this answer is correct

1) Mr. Himanshu started walking towards the west for 15m from point A and reached point B. Then he takes two consecutive left turns and walks for 12m and 6m to reach points C and D respectively. From point D he walks 5m towards left to reach point E and then he turns right and walks for 17m to reach point F.

2)Then he walks 20m towards north to reach point G and then he turns left and walks 16m to reach point H. Then finally he left and walks for 3m to reach point I.

The final arrangement is:

According to the question, we consider

IG = √ (HI) 2 + (HG) 2

IG = √ (3) 2 + (16) 2

IG = √ 9+ 256

IG = √ 265

Hence, I is in the √265 m far and in the SouthWest direction to G.
