Detailed Solution & Explanation

Starting at home (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0), Ravi cycles 10 km South to (0,10)\displaystyle (0, -10).
He then turns right (West) and travels 5 km to (5,10)\displaystyle (-5, -10).
He turns right again (North) and goes 10 km to (5,0)\displaystyle (-5, 0).
Finally, he turns left (West) and travels 10 km to (15,0)\displaystyle (-15, 0).
The straight-line distance from his final position (15,0)\displaystyle (-15, 0) to home (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0) is:
Distance=5+10=15 km\text{Distance} = 5 + 10 = 15\text{ km}
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
