Correct Answer: 40 m


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

A is the starting point and E is the finishing point. So, we have to find the distance between AE.

Here, AB = 20 m, BC = DE = 20 m, and CD = BE = 20 m
⇒ AE = AB + BE = 20 + 20 = 40 m

So, the distance from the starting point is 40 m. Hence, the second option is correct.
