Solution

The correct option is C (3,5)
The ant moves 5 units east i.e. 5 units to the right of origin on the x-axis, so the position of the ant will be (5,0).

Next, it moves 3 units north i.e. 3 units above origin in the y-axis direction. So, the position of the ant will be (5,3).

Hence, finally the ant reaches the point (5,3)
