Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
1st Maria walked 30m North.
Then she took right which means walked on the east 40m.
Then she took right which means walked on the south 45m.
Then she took left which means walked on the east 25m.
Then she took left which means walked on the north 15m.
Total north distance covered=30+15=45m.
Total south distance covered=45m.
Hence net distance in north south direction is 0.
Total east distance covered=40+25=65m.
∴She is 65m from the starting position.
