Answer: D. 20m, West

The answer is D. 20m, West.
Ashok starts at point A and moves 30m East.
He turns right and walks 20m South.
Two left turns (East then North) and walking 20m bring him back to the same latitude as A.
Finally, he turns left (West) and walks 50m.
Subtracting his 30m East start from the 50m West walk puts him 20m West of point A.
