Deva comes out of his house and runs 30 meter in north-east direction. Afterwards, he runs 30 meter towards south-east direction. Afterwards, he runs 30 meter south-west. Finally, he runs 30 meter towards north-west direction. How far is he from his house?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The four movements of equal length along north east, south east, south west and north west form a closed square, since each pair of opposite directions cancels out. Deva therefore returns to his starting point and his distance from home is 00 m.
