Correct Answer: 35 m
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
In the above figure, O is the starting point and D is the finishing point. So, OD is Deepak's distance from the starting point.
OD = OA – AD
But, AD = BC = 40
OD = 75 – 40 = 35
So, Deepak is 35 metres from the starting point. Hence, the first option is correct.
