Correct Answer: 200 metres


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

Now, we have to find the distance between the house and the endpoint.


In the above figure, O is the starting point and D is the finishing point. So, OD is the distance from the starting point.
OD = OA – AD (AD = BC = 200)
OD = 400 – 200
OD = 200 metres

So, Prem is 200 metres away from his house. Hence, the third option is correct.
