Answer 1

$Let \: 'O' \:is \: the \: starting \: point \:of \\Amar .$

$Distance \: travelled \:in \: North \: direction\\ (OA ) = 5 \: miles$

$Distance \: travelled \:in \: West \: direction\\ (AB ) = 5 \: miles$

$Distance \: travelled \:in \:South\: direction\\ (AB ) = 5 \: miles$

$Now, \red{ Distance \: from \:starting \: point } \\\green { = (OC ) = 5 \:miles}$
