Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

Ankit walks 30 m towards north, after walking 30 m he turned left i.e. towards west and walked 40 m.

Then takes a left turn i.e. towards south and moves 30 m.

So, now he is in the same line and 40 m far from where he started.

Then he again turned left i.e. towards East and walked 50 m.

Thus, he passes through his original starting point after covering 40 m and hence he is 10 m East from the starting point.
