a) 20 km, North

b) 10 km, East

c) None of these

d) 5 km, West

Answer: (c)

direction-and-distance

DE = CB =10km

AE = AB - BE = 15 – 5 = 10km

(CD = BE)

AD = $√{DE^2 + AE^2}$ = $√{(10)^2 + (10)^2}$

= $√{100 +100}$ = $√{200}$ = $√{100 × 2}$ = 10$√{2}$

Thus it's 10$√{2}$ km in North-West direction.
