Solution

The correct option is C $30$ m North-West
Kamlesh walks toward North-East covering a distance of $60 m$ .
It means Kamlesh is walks making an angle of $45$ degrees towards left from the starting point.
Then he takes a left and walks for $30$ m, which means he walks $30$ m North-West. Now he takes a right turn and walks for $40$ m i.e he walks $40$ m again towards North-East.
So, he has covered a distance of $100$ m walking North-east and $30$ m walking North-West.
Now he walk towards South-West covering a distance of $100$ m.
