Correct Answer: North, 67 m


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

From the above diagram, it is clear that Ratan is in the North direction from his starting point.
Ratan's distance between the starting point and the endpoint = 15 + 16 + 17 + 19 = 67 m

Thus, Ratan is towards the North direction and 67 m away from the starting point. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
