Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Rahim's movement:
Step 1: Moves 20 m East.
Step 2: Turns left (North) and moves 15 m.
Step 3: Turns right (East) and moves 25 m.
Step 4: Turns right (South) and moves 15 m.
Net displacement: East = 20 + 25 = 45 m, North = 15 - 15 = 0 m.
Distance from starting point = 45 m.
