10 meters North
20 meters South
20 meters North
10 meters South

Correct Answer: 20 meters South

Explanation:

The movements of Sanjeev from A to F are as shown in Figure Clearly,
Sanjeev's distance from starting point A
= AF = (AB + BF) = AB + ( BE – EF ) = AB + (CD – EF)
= [10 + (20 – 10)] m = (10 + 10) m = 20 m.
Also, F lies to the South of A. So, Sanjeev is 20 meters to the south of his starting point.
