Solution
The correct option is B 25 m Rat is running towards the south for 10 meters.
If Rat takes a right turn, it is running towards the west for 9 meters.
Again, if Rat takes a left turn, then it is running towards the south for 6 meters.
So, the total distance covered by the rat in the same path = 10 m + 9 m + 6 m = 25 m
