Solution

Pankaj starts by traveling 25m north.

Then he turns right, which would be towards the east, and travels 20m.

Again, he turns right, which would now be towards the south, and travels 25m. At this point, he is back in line with his starting point but 20m to the east of it.

Finally, he turns left from facing south, which would be towards the east, and travels 15m.

So, Pankaj is now 35m (20m + 15m) to the east of his starting point. He is not north or south of his starting point because his northward and southward travels cancelled each other out.

Therefore, Pankaj is 35m away from his starting point in the East direction.
