Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0).
1. East 65\displaystyle 65 m (65,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow (65, 0).
2. Turn left, walk 25\displaystyle 25 m (65,25)\displaystyle \rightarrow (65, 25).
3. Turn left, walk 40\displaystyle 40 m (25,25)\displaystyle \rightarrow (25, 25).
Distance =252+25235.35\displaystyle = \sqrt{25^2 + 25^2} \approx 35.35 m. Direction is North-East.
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option C (25\displaystyle 25 m in North), but the correct answer is 35.35\displaystyle 35.35 m in North-East (Option A).
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
