The answer is: D

Explanation

Let's break down the movements step by step:

  1. Kailash starts facing North.
  2. Turns right → Now facing East, moves 25 metres.
  3. Turns left → Now facing North, moves 30 metres.
  4. Turns right → Now facing East, moves 25 metres.
  5. Turns right → Now facing South, moves 55 metres.
  6. Turns right → Now facing West, moves 40 metres.

Find the final position relative to the starting point:

  • East-West Movement:
    • Moves 25m East + 25m East = 50m East.
    • Moves 40m West, so net movement = 50 - 40 = 10m East.
  • North-South Movement:
    • Moves 30m North.
    • Moves 55m South, so net movement = 55 - 30 = 25m South.

Final Position:

  • 10m East and 25m South → Direction: South-East.
