Download Solution PDFGiven:
Anna walks 15 meters south
Then turns right and walks another 20 meters.
Applying Pythagoras theorem :
(AB)2 = (AC)2 + (BC)2
(AB)2 = (20)2 + (15)2
(AB)2 = 400 + 225
AB = √625
AB = 25m
So, Anna is 25m away from the starting point in the south-west direction.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option - (3)".
