Correct Answer: 20 km North-West


Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –

Now, we will find the distance between Abhinav's final position and his house.

By applying the Pythagoras theorem –
AC 2 = AB 2 + BC 2
AC 2 = 12 2 + 16 2
AC 2 = 144 + 256
AC 2 = 400
AC = 20

So, Abhinav is 20 km far in the North-West direction from his house. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
