Correct Answer: 5 m


Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –

Now, we have to find the distance between the starting point and the endpoint.


In the figure, A is the starting point and F is the finishing point. So, AF is the distance from the starting point.
Here, AB = 10 m, BE = CD = 5 m, EF = 10 m
Now, AF = AB + BE – EF
AF = 10 + 5 – 10
AF = 5 m

So, the distance from the starting point is 5 m. Hence, the third option is correct.
