Correct Answer: East; 70 m


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


Now, we have to find the direction and what distance should Udai walk to reach 15 m north of the starting point.


Here, O is the starting point and D is the end point.
OA = 25 m; AB = 55 m; BC = 45 m; CD = 70 m
OA = FG = 25 m; AB = CE = 55 m; BC = AE = GD = 45  m
DE = DC – EC; 70 m – 55 m = 15 m; DE = FO = 15 m
From Point D he turns to his left to reach 15 m north of the starting point.
Therefore, DG + GF = 45 m + 25 m = 70 m

So, he covers 70 m distance towards the east direction to reach 15 m north of the starting point. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
