Correct Answer: 40 m, North


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

Here, A is the starting point (Railway station) and F is the endpoint (Bus stand).
The distance between the railway station and the bus stand is AF.
AF = DE – BC = 140 – 100 = 40

So, the Bus stand is 40 m north of the railway station. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
