Solution

From the above diagram we can see that if Niharika start from point O at the end see will be at point D.
The required distance is OD.
OD = AB + CD
OD = 30 m + 10 m
OD = 40 m

From the above diagram, D point is on the west direction from the starting point.

Hence, the required answer is 40 m, West.
