Correct Answer: 25 m


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

Point A is the starting point and the X is the endpoint, so the distance between them is XA.
XA = 40 – 15 = 25

So, the shortest distance between Kartik's home and point X is 25 m. Hence, the second option is correct.
