Solution

Distance and direction: 2 Marks
Total Distance: 1 Mark

Distance travelled by Ram in the north direction = 20km

Distance travelled in the south direction = 45km

Ram's distance from the initial point = (45 - 20 ) = 25km

Ram is 25km in the south direction from his starting point.

The total distance travelled by Ram = 20 + 45 = 65km
