Solution

Rana's journey can be visualized as follows:

  1. He starts at a point and travels 10 km north.
  2. He then turns left (which would be west if we assume he started facing north) and travels 4 km.
  3. He then turns right (which would be north again) and travels 5 km.
  4. Finally, he turns right again (which would be east) and travels 4 km.

At the end of his journey, Rana is 5 km north of his starting point (10 km north - 5 km south) and 4 km east of his starting point (4 km west - 4 km east).

However, the question asks for the distance from his starting point, not his displacement. The distance from his starting point is simply the total distance he traveled, which is 10 km + 4 km + 5 km + 4 km = 23 km.

None of the options provided (4 km, 15 km, 5 km, 10 km) are correct.
