Correct Answer: 50 m due north


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

Here, A is the starting point and F is the finishing point.
AB = 40 m; CD = 35 m; EF = 25 m
BF = CD – EF
BF = 35 – 25
BF = 10 m
Now, find the distance between his final position (F) and his house (A) –
AF = AB + BF
AF = 40 + 10
AF = 50 m

So, the distance between his final position and his house is 50 m, and he is in the north direction of his house. Hence, the second option is correct.
