Correct Answer: East, 120 km


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

Now, we have to find the distance from home to the endpoint and the direction of the home with respect to the endpoint.


The distance between home(A) to end point(E) = AD + DE; (AD = CB)
AE = 60 + 60
AE = 120 km

So the distance from home to the endpoint is 120 km and home is in the east direction with respect to the endpoint. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
