Option 4: 20 km North-West
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.
