Correct Answer: Left, 22 m


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

Now, we have to find the distance between E and F.

Here, A is the starting point and E is the finishing point.

AB = 14m; BC = 20m; CD = 36m; DE = 65m
And, EF = CD – AB = 36 – 14 = 22m

So, she has to turn to the left to reach the hospital and the distance is 22m. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
