Solution

The salon is 45m towards North from his home.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The person starts at his home and walks 25m North.
  2. He then takes a 90 degree left turn (which points him West) and walks 15m.
  3. Next, he takes a 90 degree right turn (which points him North again) and walks 10m.
  4. He takes another 90 degree right turn (which points him East) and walks 15m.
  5. Finally, he takes a 90 degree left turn (which points him North again) and walks 20m.

If we add up all the distances he walked North (25m + 10m + 20m = 55m) and subtract the distance he walked East (15m), we find that the salon is 40m North from his starting point. However, none of the options match this answer.

Upon reviewing the question, it seems there might be a mistake in the options provided. The correct answer should be 40m North, not 45m North.
