Solution

The correct option is B 60 m
According to the question
W walked 40 m towards West and took a left turn.

He then took a right turn and walked 20 m

He again took a right turn and walked 30 m

We have to find out the distance between W's starting point and the end point. Join starting point and end point of W by dotted line.

W is (40 + 20) = 60 m away from the starting point.
