Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0). Front door faces East \displaystyle \rightarrow Back door faces West.
1. Walk 50\displaystyle 50 m West (50,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-50, 0).
2. Turn right, walk 50\displaystyle 50 m (50,50)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-50, 50) facing North.
3. Turn left, walk 25\displaystyle 25 m (75,50)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-75, 50) facing West.
Final position (75,50)\displaystyle (-75, 50) is North-West.
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option D (North-East), but the correct direction is North-West (Option B).
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
