Step-by-Step Solution
The complete worked solution.
Every step explained - no skipped algebra.
Walks 25 m south (towards backdoor). - Left turn: walks 36 m east. - Left turn: walks 47 m north. - Left turn: walks 36 m west. - Net north displacement = 47 – 25 = 22 m north. - East-west displacement cancels out.- So, he is 22 m north of starting point.
Final Answer: Option A - 22 m north
