Correct Answer: 50 metres
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
In the above figure, O is the starting point and D is the finishing point. So, OD is the total distance covered by Rahul.
OD = OA + AD
And, AD = BC = 20 m
Therefore, OD = 30 + 20 = 50 m
So, Rahul is 50 metres from the starting point. Hence, the first option is correct.
