Anand walked 6 km west from his home and turned south covering 4 km. Finally, he walked 1.5 km towards west. What is the distance from his home and which direction is Anand facing now?

Correct option is C

From the given information following path diagram can be drawn-

Distance from his home =
= $$\sqrt{4^2 + 7.5^2}\\\sqrt{16 + 56.24}\\\sqrt{72.25}\\$$​​
= 8.5 km
Thus, the distance from his home is 8.5 km and in west direction.
Correct answer is (c) 8.5 km, west.
