Correct Answer: 40 m


Solution : According to the instructions given, the diagram is as follows –

Here, O is the starting point and D is the finishing point and OD is the total distance from the starting point.

OA = 15m; AB = 20m; BC = 15m; CD = 20m
And, OD = 20 + 20 = 40m

So, the distance now from his original position is 40m. Hence, the first option is correct.
