Starting from Point X, Joy walked 15 m towards West. He turned left and walked 20 m. He again turned left and walked 15 m. After which he turned right and walked for another 12 m. How far is Joy from point X if he is facing North at present? Answer: 32 m

Joy first travels 15 metres west, then 20 metres south, then 15 metres east, returning to the original north-south line. He then travels 12 metres south. Thus his final displacement from the starting point is 32 metres, matching option 32 m.
