Solution
The correct option is B 20 metres on the left from the starting point.
He moves 5 metres to the right and 25 metres to the left. We can consider the distance towards right as positive numbers and distance towards left as negative numbers.
Travelling 5 metres to the right and 25 metres to the left gives the final position as:
5 - 25 = -20
Koushal is 20 meters on the left from the starting point.
