    Draw a figure with the help of given below direction picture.
    Sanjeev walks 10 meters towards the south.
    Turning to the left, he walks 20 meters .
    Then moves to his right and moving a distance of 20 meters, he turns to the right and walks 20 meters.
    Finally, he turns to the right and moves a distance of 10 meters.


    Correct Option: B

    The movements of Sanjeev from A to F are as shown in Figure Clearly,
    Sanjeev’s distance from starting point A
    = AF = (AB + BF) = AB + ( BE – EF ) = AB + (CD – EF)
    = [10 + (20 – 10)] m = (10 + 10) m = 20 m.
    Also, F lies to the South of A. So, Sanjeev is 20 meters to the south of his starting point.
